On my rig, there is a heavy gauge wire connected to the positive post of the chassis battery that, when followed, connects to a 50amp breaker/switch then to the vicinity of the engine compartment fuse box where the BIRD/Tombetta was located and now the LBIM is located. Perhaps you can follow wires to locate yours?
Thanks. It's a Trombetta, so the BIM may be a direct replacement, less the mount points. That would certainly be nice. Sun is setting. I'll pull the overflow tank tomorrow, get some volt readings ad start looking how I might install the BIM.
