Default Problems with Ultima 18-533

Hello, I have installed the Ultima 18-533 I have installed everything checked it many times. but I have a problem I think.

Before I will connect the battery I have beeped the wiring but I have a fault, the Red/Black wiring is connected to the ground?

I thought that the Red/Blakc wire must be transfer the voltage to the module?

I hope you guys can help me,


Thanks and greetings,


Erik.

Thanks it must be to the ignition switch yes the switch is putting 12V on the Red/Black wire so it can not be grounded?

Thanks and greetings,

Erik.

Did you ever get it working correctly?
Anyone know how to reset these modules if you have a ground short? Says it has circuit protection. How does it reset?
