From the schematic,
the resistor goes between pin 8 & ground and pin 9 & ground
pins 8 & 9 go to the switch

the resistor does not go from the switch to pin 8 or 9

When I built mine , I soldered the resistors on the andrino. If you look up a bunch of posts, there is a pic I posted

Hi everyone I just got a 986 and working on making it an awesome fun ride.
Very late and i've thoroughly went thru this post. I know it's been a while since anybody wrote here.
I soldered everything up and loaded program and pretty much ready to test this but I don't know where to find the Switched 12V. Can someone advise.

Thanks in advance

Since you have US car you should have the telephone plug somewhere behind the dashboard.
It should have ground, constant 12v and switched 12v.

For my ROW car I had to switch outputs of fuses D5 and E8 to only power my cigarette lighter with ignition.
