[Shotimes] battery in trunk

[Ian Fisher]

The PCM ground is a thin black wire that runs to the
battery. I wouldn't worry about what Pin it is on the
PCM; just tap into this location (unless someone says
otherwise)...

On a 92 isn't the starter relay on the starter? I
don't think you need to worry about moving it.

FWIW, Kevin Galuska relocated his battery to his trunk
and he also has headlight relays. I know that he kept
them. Hopefully he'll chime in here..
