The Wiring Chronicles of NICO's Autocross Truck

[PEZi]

It's about time..... custom wiring going into the 720! Follow along as I kill myself on another stupid project!

















meh :/

[MetalFab]

*shudder* looks like a nightmare to me. =)

Time to start fresh...

[PEZi]

Day 2... wire mining! Pulling out some of the crap that I don't need.... but realizing that doesn't even put a dent in this crap yet.

So I got my truck running and now it has charging issues and wiring demons. LMK whats up with a wiring kit.

[synack7350]

man I'm so not looking forward to this part. Good luck with all that pezi.

[Rev_D21]

That's hardcore!

[flinterman2000]

Saw a lot of wires going nowhere when I installed the blower for the AC. I'll be doing something similar when I'm changing the dashboard.

Have taken pictures of the plugs and colors with their label.

wish I could help man always an opposite coast thing!

[PEZi]

I'm still in the process of making all this work. I have the ignition completely separated and working, and then the new electric fan wired and voltage gauge wired separate from the rest of the harness. Headlights are separate, and work as well! I still have tons of wires... still figuring out what a lot of them do and what can be ridded of. Right now, I have no working blinkers, tail lights or brake lights... but I am THAT close to a completely functional simplified harness! I'll let you know once I have those things working and what ends up being left.

[synack7350]

I take it that's a painless wiring set up? how much did that cost?

[PEZi]

As of right now... everything is still the stock wiring, and I have manually pulled all the crap that doesn't need to be there. I have wired a few things back up, but overall the cost is minimal so far. The reason I have no working lights is because I pulled one too many relays

[synack7350]

I'd forgo the relay anyway. you can get a 5 dollar old school pull switch that can handle the amps of your lights. It's what I'm gonna do when I get in there.

[PEZi]

Oh, I know. I have the headlights working currently, but I still have to make the tail lights, brake lights and blinkers work.

[synack7350]

what gauge wire did you send to your headlights? do you remember?

[PEZi]

Headlights are still using stock wire... appears to be 18.

[synack7350]

yeah sounds about right ish. 50 watt bulbs be around 4 amps a bulb.
