Hi Bob, I've been thinking on this and I'm not 100% sure, I think it's high when the ignition is off and then when the ignition turns on it drops (I'm not sure if it just drops in voltage or it gets grounded.

I know when I was looking at getting it working (without the ULF), it didn't work as I thought it would, and it had some funny charging on/off issues (depending on how it was connected).
