It's interesting that the manual basically states to connect the “-" pin to "-”, and the remaining 3 pins connect to “+". The instructions on the Amazon site give details for each of the 4 pins.
My connections:
“-" pin to "-” of the golf cart.
“+" pin to golf cart power on key wire. This has the meter do a self test, including digits displaying, and background light goes on, then off.
“E” pin also to power on key wire. This accumulates run time and pulsates the run icon.
“B” pin to the headlights on wire. This controls the backlight.

That isn't actually measuring engine hours. It is measuring key on hours. Yamaha hour meters measure engine run time. If you play a round of golf and leave your key on while teeing off, etc. those minutes turn into hours and are counted.
The red/white wires at the voltage regulator,solenoid, and stop relay are hot only when accelerator pedal is pressed. One side (may also be a red/white wire) of the accelerator switch is also hot only when pedal is pressed also, but access may be more difficult.
