You will have two large boxes containing lots-o-electrical parts showing up at your house early next week! (I got put back in the hospital twice this week and it slowed down finishing up the last little bits. )
Here is a list of what all has been done for this electrical project for those that are curious.
Complete OEM harness (except for the emissions computer circuits) was built using the old harness as a guide. GXL correctly color coded wire was used throughout. Where I deemed necessary, I increased the wire size to reduce voltage loss. Lighting circuits and alternator wiring are the two primary areas, plus the rear harness. Also added some protective rubber caps to help prevent under the hood shorts on the alternator and starter.
Added a 4 Pin Rear Trailer pigtail (with tie to OEM chassis ground circuit) that can be removed and capped. Weather -Pak connectors used for this.
Three fused circuits were added: One for AC, one for radio, one for CB.
Created new headlight sub harnesses with Weather-Pak connectors that use aftermarket sockets. Just like OEM, these are shipped dis-assembled so the wires can be pulled through the small OEM holes in the bucket then the socket is assembled inside the bucket to complete.
Created a "by-pass jumper" so that the dash light switch does not need to be on to have the dome light work. Included the wire for the dash lights for when he finds one.
Added one of my Fusible Links to the connection at the starter to prevent harness fires in case of a major short on chassis side of the charge wire.
Sourced a solid state regulator from Wagner and included that.
Fog light harness was created using Weather-Pak connectors for easy disconnect. This harness mates to Motts Fog Light Switch.
Rear Heater Harness was made based on the original. (Note: Does NOT use OEM connectors as they are not available. Weather-Pak connectors were used.)
Modified the OEM Washer Motor bullet connectors to use the 2 pin connector on the aftermarket kit that SOR sells.
Changed the connector for the flasher unit to ones that will work with OEM OR aftermarket.
Victor sent me all the OEM and aftermarket lights including the fog lights. Those have been rewired with the proper colored coded wires so they will now match a schematic.
E-Brake switch cleaned and rewired.
4WD light rewired.
Turn signal Dash lights rewired.
Brake Warning Light rewired.
Three Speed Column Reverse light Switch unstuck, cleaned and tested.
Cigar Lighter cleaned up and tested (Though you may want to get a new one to match the rest of this beautiful vehicle!)
All switches that TrollHole had redone were installed and tested on the harness. They not only look perfect, but function perfect as well.
Finally, at Victors request to aid in putting the harness back in the truck, I labeled every single connection! That took forever but I can see how it will really help.
The pic shows the rewired lights ready to be installed.
otherwise I could face Ministry of Magic sanctions and what not.
