Default Quick CAGS Eliminator Question

I just received my CAGS eliminator and on the instructions they say to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery. Is this necessary? I prefer not to have to reprogram my raido stations etc. THANKS :skep:

Just to be safe. I would rather reprogram the stations than have a major short :auto:

Just do it. I don't think disconnecting the battery is necessary.

If you have the key out of the ignition switch, I don't even think there's any way for voltage to go the CAGS solenoid, so it would be very difficult to cause a short during install.

Cheers,
Kent
