HAHA I forgot about that... yeah I don't give out my name on the internet if its avoidable and I used Why because I'm not really sure why this site (or anyone for that matter) would care what my real name was... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you for the compliment btw... I didn't know they had another way to...
I spliced mine into the overhead console wiring, pre-fused, switched power and a ground up there. I forget which wires I used, I think it was power for the rear view mirror (even if yours isn't powered the wires are still there). Just use some splice connectors and you should be good to go, no...
Most of the connections are stock (main battery has 3 on the Pos; alternator, starter, main fuse box. Neg has the two stock connections plus one from the second battery).
On the second battery the connections are Pos and Neg to the accessories, another to the disconnect in the front and the...
Why did I do it?
I am currently running 3 sets of light bars, 2 radios (CB & GMRS) and have plans to add an air pump and an inverter down the road maybe other stuff as well (camping and off roading stuff)
Why didn't I go stock?
Main reason is the stock setup is a parallel install to get more...
Neg terminal just barely clearing the side of the truck... glad its the Neg
Quick disconnect mounted on the front of the truck for jumping people or whatever you could think of
View of the wire running to the disconnect
(still needs to be secured as well as cleaning up the mess of wires the...
Today I bring to my mostly finished dual battery install... What we have here are two H6-AGM batteries wired with 4AWG wire powered by the stock 160A alternator and isolated with a diode based battery isolator.
A few things to note:
I still need some wire loom (not crucial but most will say...
What are you trying to do with this radio? Why did you get a harness for it? If your not putting it into a vehicle in the year/model range I seriously doubt it will ever work.
Hey,
If your still having this issue and you have ruled out all electrical possibilities I would check this video out...
Since you have a new alternator this could be you issue... just my $0.02 good luck.
Although I would normally agree I have had good luck in the past in other vehicles with durability and longevity. I don't mind vacuuming it every once in a while... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Depending on your location it sounds like corrosion however it could also be phantom voltage. If you are unplugging the connector and using a multi meter you could get strange readings like that, try adding a load on the circuit like a light bulb or jumping to the motor then try reading the...
Not sure if this is what your looking for but give it a try, hint: if your not sure what wires go to what speakers you can use a AA battery to the pos and neg of the supposed speaker wires and you should hear it crackling (WARNING: I do not know how this trick will work if you have a factory amp...
yeah... from what I gathered searching for my own console (before I just built one) you will just have to keep searching around ebay, craigslist, and junk yard until you get lucky. Good luck and happy hunting!
I just poked around on google images and youtube for a bit and I'd have to say no a 2015 or higher will not work but an 2005ish to 2014 will.
Something with a base like this one...
Thank you sir, I plan on using speaker box fabric on just about the whole thing, as I have done on other consoles I've built. I also plan on bringing the arm rest to an upholsterer to have the top padded with some super soft leather on top of that... How does that sound?
Have you tried a junk yard? I got a frame for my 2010 out of an 05ish Sierra for about $25 (with the seat belt, they wanted $30 just for that but I couldn't get it off there so... yay it was free) I cant imagine that a complete one would be more than $75 or so. If you really want a 2015 or...
