m1008 24v on buss bar?

[cadillacben]

I'm wiring in a brake controller and only need to supply my 12v source. I thought the buss bar on the firewall was supposed to be 12v, but when I test that to a chassis ground I'm getting 24v. If that's right, where (aside from the front battery) can I get 12v? It needs to be a direct source, but direct to the battery is less desired.

Supposed to go to the battery with a circuit breaker. buss bar is supposed to be 24. The diamond is 12.

Hook it into the brake light switch wire right up under the dash at the brake pedal. Get it on the side coming out that triggers the brake lights. And if you need more 12 volt use the small 12 volt stud on the drivers side fire wall under the hood on the inside left of the brake resevoir. Good Luck.

The brake controller needs dedicated constant power to power the controller . There is a wire from the controller to the brake light side of the switch to activate the brake lights from the controller .
