Wire management module for a vehicle

A method for controlling energization of an operable system of a vehicle having a first wire and a second wire, the operable system of the vehicle configured to be energized in response to operative connection between the first wire and the second wire, the method comprising:

• transmitting, from a user-authentication module being configured to be installed to the vehicle, a wire-management signal to a signal input port of a wire-management module, the wire-management module having an installation structure being configured to be installable to the vehicle, and the wire-management module being configured to be operatively coupled to the first wire and also coupled to the second wire;
• inhibiting energization of the operable system of the vehicle, by the wire-management module inhibiting operative connection between the first wire and the second wire, in response to the signal input port of the wire-management module receiving a wire-inhibit signal as the wire-management signal from the user-authentication module, the wire-inhibit signal indicative of lack of authorization to use the operable system of the vehicle;
• and
• enabling energization of the operable system of the vehicle, by the wire-management module enabling operative connection between the first wire and the second wire, in response to the signal input port of the wire-management module receiving a wire-enable signal as the wire-management signal from the user-authentication module, the wire-enable signal indicative of authorization to use the operable system of the vehicle;
• in response to disconnection between the user-authentication module and the wire-management module, providing, by the wire-management module for the wire-management module, the wire-enable signal as the wire-management signal, and
• enabling energization of the operable system of the vehicle, by the wire-management module enabling operative connection between the first wire and the second wire, in response to the wire-management module providing the wire-enable signal as the wire-management signal.

A method for controlling energization of an operable system of a vehicle being configured to be energized in response to operative connection between a first wire and a second wire of the vehicle, the method comprising:

• inhibiting energization of the operable system of the vehicle, by a wire-management module;
• inhibiting operative connection between the first wire and the second wire, in response to a signal input port of the wire-management module receiving a wire-inhibit signal indicative of lack of authorization to use the operable system of the vehicle, wherein the wire-inhibit signal is received from a user-authentication module installable to the vehicle, and the wire-management module having an installation structure being configured to be installable to the vehicle, and the wire-management module being configured to be operatively coupled to the first wire and also coupled to the second wire;
• enabling energization of the operable system of the vehicle, by the wire-management module enabling operative connection between the first wire and the second wire, in response to the signal input port of the wire-management module receiving a wire-enable signal indicative of authorization to use the operable system of the vehicle, wherein the wire-enable signal is received from the user-authentication module;
• in response to disconnection between the user-authentication module and the wire-management module, providing, by the wire-management module for the wire-management module, the wire-enable signal;
• and
• enabling energization of the operable system of the vehicle, by the wire-management module enabling operative connection between the first wire and the second wire, in response to the wire-management module providing the wire-enable signal.
