We're in! '99 LX - new to us! (1 Viewer)

Changed out the plugs w/ some new Denso SK20R11. She seemed to appreciate the new plugs, ran a little smoother!

One of the coil packs looked discolored:

Does anyone know the p/n for the clamps that hold the wire harness above the coil packs on the driver side? Mine are toast!

You might compare what you have against this: (look for numbers on your clamps also)

Be sure and replace those coil boots when doing your plugs, it will help keep those coils going longer.

Working on adding some 12v power to the back of the LX, looking for adequate power for the fridge. Plus volt meter at the end of the run - bonus!

 

[PabloCruise]

Finished this off and got things wired!

Mssr @C6H12O6 was cool enough to send me one his 3D prints that swaps out the 3rd row ashtray for a single power outlet on the driver side: 12V Outlet Install

I ran 12 gauge wire from the battery (fused at the battery) through the boot on the fire wall:

Lots of room to run under the carpet to the back:

Then ran a piggy-back at the driver side power outlet so I could connect power from the front and run power over to the passenger side under the carpet:

Grounds through the factory bolts seemed to work well:

Then snap all your plastic bits back in place!

Nice to be able to read voltage at the end of the run! This will be helpful when the fridge is plugged in.

A bit more serious than the factory wiring to the cargo area power outlet:

Air bags!

Getting ready to pull our new camper.

Going to take a look at AHC pressures before I put air pressure in the bags.

Next up is brake controller and 7-pin plug

 

[PabloCruise]

AHC seems happy!

This is before any air in the bags:

These showed up yesterday...

That looks like a combo 4 + 7 pin part for the towing electrics. Hopkins or another brand?

I got it from e-trailer, I think they put some work in to make a kit.
I will see if I can get a name off the 7-pin lid.

 

[PabloCruise]

7-pin connector wired and installed:

I hope my trailer wiring is long enough to reach!

Tekonsha P3 is in and wired:

Here is how I connected - I used Posi-Locks supplied by Crutchfield when I ordered my new head unit:
