Bed Heater Wiring Confusion
Hello, I am very confused about the wiring of the bed heater. My bed heater came precrimped with 2 straight male style connectors and a 2pin JST style connector. Photo attached. The photo I included from the wiring section shows 3 forks added to the wires on the bed heater. The instructions show connecting the fork style crimps to three locations on the power supply. The commissioning guide instructs the JST 2pin connector to be inserted on the motherboard. Could someone please clarify what is needed with these wires/crimps/connectors. Thank you.

Not sure where you got that wiring diagram. It looks to be showing a ground wire which is not included with the ratrig beds. You instead ground the aluminum bed directly
I have the aluminum bed grounded with the crimped ring and the screw. The red wires with the JST are going to the motherboard. I am unsure where the two white wires with the crimed male tip go. Are those the two yellow wires in the diagram or is it one white and one yellow? The diagram is from the electronics section that you get to from slide 76 with the warning.
no, ignore the yellow wire in that diagram. If needed, seek help from a professional licensed electrician
So where do the two white wires go?
The ones in my photo of the bed heater
to the SSR
Are there instructions on that anywhere?
For liability reasons, I'm not sure there is anything official
So I am looking at the two yellow wires coming from the bed heater in the schematic I posted? Left and right is correct in that and should be followed?
i got something wrong, one sec
the left side of that diagram is correct
i had said both white go to the ssr, but that isn't accurate. ONE of them gets "interrupted" by the ssr
and the other goes straight to mains
Does it matter which goes where?
So the connections shown highlighted in blue are what I need to do?
no, the two white. ignore the yellow
Got it, thank you!
