Wire sizes? (1 Viewer)

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Is there a spreadsheet/list/document/bar napkin with a basic breakdown of wires sizes throughout different wiring harnesses?


I know I could go to the fuse sizes and do some basic calcs, or a list of other things, but I'm looking for something that is already consolidated into one place.


Yes, I'm being a lazy keyboard Ranger at this point, if I don't find anything prepackaged for instant consumption I'm perfectly able to spend the time to lay out my harness and find out.


Again, I'm currently being lazy.


Thanks for any constructive feedback.

I'm being lazy too - constructive feedback is debatable - Assume this is for the rear based on your thread post earlier.

76 FJ40 Taillights, Reverse and indicators wire size - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/76-fj40-taillights-reverse-and-indicators-wire-size.1301477/

looks like all 16g - nothing smaller. ??

16 awg is about what I was thinking myself. Seems about right.


There was some interesting discussion in that thread.

Blue seas has a chart for estimating wire size based on amps. I thought I had seen something from @Coolerman with a table, but cannot find it at the moment.

I have Coolermans website open on my pc, I’m slowly browsing through it still.

Post #2 is what you are looking for:

Electrical Re-wiring / Harness

Thinking of replacing all the electrical wiring in my FJ40. There are way too many wires, most appear do not connect to anything. Under the dash there are several connectors, not connected and non-standard wires. Planning a big trip and dont want any electrical / earthing issues. Also need...

Just make sure that your wire nuts are tight.
