Ground the unit, run the power to your switch, and run your pattern wire to a momentary switch...

Black is Ground, White is power and green is pattern (I think) If you want to be able to change the pattern, you will have to install another switch...

I hardwired mine, and left the pattern select wire free-floating, so I could access it and change it if I wanted, but did not bother hooking up to a switch.
My dual avenger came with cig plug. If I cut plug off and hardwire it can/how can I change flash pattern?
To answer the gentleman above me..
Look at information below that was already supplied earlier in this thread
TL: DR or 2D2R - You'll need two seperate switches when you wire your Avenger - 1 (On/Off) - 2 (Pattern Selection)

Yeah I saw that and do thank you for your response. Wasn't sure what wires I would have if I cut the plug off.
Right now I have them plugged into a cig lighter adapter that has an on/off switch but when I kill the power it goes back to the default flash pattern. Any way to get the pattern I want to stay set without going through the patterns? That's my main issue.

I've never used an Avenger... But, I'm sure it should save the selected pattern...
Does it not save even when not using the adapter?

That is what I am going to do. I already did it with my E66. It just makes it easier if you want to change the patterns
Probably easy to figure out but this stuff is mostly Greek to me.
If I cut the plug off I will have 3 wires. 1 power, 1 ground, and 1 to pick flash pattern? Is that correct?
Sorry if this question is elementary as I'm not a install guy. I'm just a cop and we're not known for your electronic genius :haha:

The other option is to plug the avenger into one of these:

And then hardwire that.
It would just mean that you would have to change the pattern at the plug instead of running the change lead to the switch (installed in the location of your choice).
