Well, that shouldn't make a difference. The black/yellow lead is for wiring
high-drain devices like headlights. This circuit is off when the starter is
engaged, assuring max power (Simpson's reference, haha) to the starter.
With the key in the run position (and off position, for that matter), the
solid black and black/yellow wire should act identically. Does the unit
have three wires total, one each for 12v lead, ground and O2 input?
