Question: Best way to splice the SWC adapter to the stock harness

Post by **striklybidnis** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 3:22 am

The SWC adapter uses resistors and splices into the stock harness. I was just wondering how some folks did this. I am not looking to cut anything on the stock setup and I am not the best with solder in tight spots. Any suggestion?

Thanks.

The easiest way I found was to solder the resistors to like 20 AWG wire and then heat shrink that (plus you can solder this anywhere you have space and good lighting, making it relatively simple). You can then take these wires and use wire tap-ins to splice into the wires in the harness. This leaves minimal damage on the car, so if you ever need to remove things, it wont be a problem.

You rock! Thanks!

Just for clarification-you tap into the wire before it gets to the factory harness, not into the harness itself, correct?

here, see this and do this... if you have pioneer, use the black plug instead of the blue/yellow wires

Don't see how I can screw it up now

I appreciate the help Doc...

You may want to make that pic a sticky post up front...or part of the how to's-it seems that no matter the system, this will remain pretty constant...

those wire colors are the exact colors of the vehicle wires

white/green, grey/blue, blue/black.... I agree, Tyler, Blake, or Brian, can one of you create a stick or how to with this diagram for how to hook up the PAC/SWI? Thanks fellas!

Well, finally got around to install the SWC and everything went smooth. Thanks for your help Doc! Now if only I can figure out why one of my HID's are out

Damn it, where was that diagram when I was trying to install mine !! I ended up ripping it out.
