Sorry for no pictures on the connectors. I'm just talking about the normal crimp on kind like you find in Lowes or Walmart. They usually come in 2 sizes, small and large. The large ones is too big for the X14 slot, it would touch more than one terminal. The smaller one is normally used for making connections to speakers. Here is a link to a picture that should help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kabelschuh_verschiedene_commons.jpg The Spade connectors are on the bottom part of the circle, notice that they are in different sizes. What you want is the Red one.

Just wanted to say how valuable this OP was to me. I spent a lot of time looking before I found it. The information was spot on and the pictures and explanation were great. Unfortunately I ran into some difficulty that took me a while to work out. When my relay and wiring harness arrived I followed the post, removed the red wire, etc. (Used small female spade ends with no problems). The only issue was that after 2 days my battery was dead. Took me a week and 2 more battery charging sessions to figure it all out too. To cut to it, it turned out that the pigtail that I received was NOT wired like the one in the OP. After checking to find a schematic for the relay (see URL below) I found out what my problem was. I had to remove all 4 of the remaining wires from the harness and put them in the proper spots so that I could follow the OP. That done I finally was successful. In an effort to avoid anyone else having this issue, I'm listing the site (URL) that contained the information that I needed, and the pin codes (found on the back of the relay) along with the corresponding wire colors necessary to make this work like the OP: http://www.mp3car.com/the-faq-emporium/117895-faq-relays-how-they-work-and-how-to-wire-it-up.html pin 30 = Blue Wire that goes to either X14 pin 2 or pin 5 (constant 12V) pin 85 = Black Wire that goes to X14 pin 1 (ground) pin 86 = White Wire that goes to X14 pin 8 (RAP source voltage) pin 87 = Yellow Wire that is your new RAP switched power source for your radio, gps, amp, lighter, etc. If you make sure that this is what you have then there should be no problems. I hope that this will help someone, I'd hate to think that I was the only dumb one out there that got a wiring harness that wasn't up to spec. Great job the OP Diesail !
