Bolt the ECU housing onto the ECU plate. Bolt the compressor power cable and the ECU power cable to the contactor. The contactor provides isolation from the battery for safety and protect against parasitic current draw from the compressor. Note that some kits also come with an option of a direct connection using a power post. This is typically only used in a racing application where a battery isolator is fitted. Slide the rubber boots over the terminals and dress neatly. The compressor module assembly is now complete.
