Where is the best spot to disconnect the keep alive wire on the D120? Inside the 37 pin connector? Do you remove the #2 pin with the yellow wire or just cut the wire? Is the keep alive on the D100 also the #2 yellow wire also? I have a garmin 496 to keep time. I assume the keep alive wire is not fused or on a breaker. After my D120 would not boot up I Pulling the breaker on the D120 had no sucess in trying to reboot so after reading this forum I pulled the D120 out of the panel and disconnected the 37 pin for a minute and reconnected and the D120 then booted up fine. Now I just need to cut the yellow keep alive but at what spot?

I think it's best to remove the wire completely however you could cut it at the coonector if you don't have the removal tool. Pin 2 is keep alive (should be fused close to power source) on both units - Dynon recommendation is to not connect keep alive.

I mentioned removing the wire as it can become an 'antenna' for picking up and introducing 'noise' into the system

Fair enough! My method would have been effective but yours is much more thorough and a better choice down the road.
