Aux Electrical System Fuse Box Wiring Harness

Bytomas February 6, 2009January 26, 2012

I finally got some of the supplies I needed to get moving forward on the rebuild of my auxiliary electrical system. The project for today was to build the wiring harness for the passenger compartment fuse box. I built the harness using connectors so it can be removed is the dash panels need to be removed. Using connectors also allows a more modular wiring system to be built. The harness is mostly built with 18 gauge wire for low amperage applications. The high amp stuff will be under the hood.

This picture shows the installation location.
