allowing crimped contacts to be stacked on top of one another. I am uncertain as to how these would be used in practice as the distortion of the contact means they don
A useful tip if you wish to make crimped battery ends but do not have acrimping toolis to use a centre punch in the centre of the clamp tail to crimp the cable in place. Remote connection to the battery can be very useful if the battery is located under hard to remove panels or bod...
Step 7: Once the wire is satisfactorily clean, remove the wire from the vinegar, and plunge it into the baking soda solution to neutralize the acid's corrosive properties. If the wire was exposed to the air, without neutralizing the acid first, it would quickly corrode again. The baking so...
A very small wire and potentially high resistance connections means the charger is going to need to "push" a higher voltage to get the setpoint current flow, and will need to drop voltage down low to "pull" the setpoint current out of the battery. I use 16 gauge speaker wire, crimped ...
For the power lead, I spliced in an inline fuse holder about a foot from the terminal. The HU constant power wiring is similar to the amp power lead: ring terminal crimped on to the hot end, then a fuse holder within 12" of battery. In fact, both the HU and amp lead can be tapp...
Connect the other wire of the device you want to control to the negative (-) terminal of the power source. Connect one of the LED light pins to either the C or NO/NC pin of the switch. This pin will be either positive (+) or negative (-) of the LED light, depending on how you...
Remove all metallic jewelry, including watches. Keep a multimeter on hand. Check conductors and terminators to confirm there are zero volts present before proceeding. Ensure that all wires are stripped and/or terminated properly using a torque wrench/driver when necessary. ...
With your battery disconnected, you can start to remove the dash bezel that surrounds your OEM head unit. It also houses two vents, climate control unit, a 12V charging port and a cubby so be gentle. Note that the head unit will not come out along with the bezel though. This large pie...
hold. For smaller wires, even the 15 amp pins might be too large to get a proper crimp without folding the wire over once on itself before crimping. Some folks I know also solder the connections (after crimping!), but I haven't had any trouble with ones that are properly just crimped...
If you see different results from your test, then your switch is probably bad. The exception is if the switch itself doesn't have power or ground, then you have a wiring problem. The first place to check is where the wires pass through into the door since they can become crimped and ...
