Need help please.

I need some help.
I have the #5177 kit and I'm halfway finished with the install, I just need some things cleared up.

First of all I have the NX switches(I got that hooked up no prob.) but the wires (3 of them) that need to connect with the 12volts is where I'm hung up at. I have three wires. Should I connect them individualy to the 12v source or can I splice them all into on wire and run a 5 amp fuse?

3 power wires?
You should have 2.1 for the arm/heater.1 for the purge.
The power wire for the opener should be hooked directly to the battery with a 20a fuse.I usually hook the heater main and opener to the same 20a off battery.
Connect the 2 wires together then hook to a switched power source with a 5a fuse.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The 3 wires are 1 arm/1 heater/1 opener. All coming from the NX swich.

So the opener AND the relay need to be connected to the battery?

Yes,the opener should come from the battery.
The main power for the heater should too.
Wire the heater control to the switched source(same as arming)so when the car is off,so is the heater.
