Step 10. Cut two feet of the #8AWG red and two feet of the #8AWG black cable from the opposite side of the

conduit. Solder one side of these cable pieces to the Anderson SB175 connector. Note: The Anderson connector terminals

are large. We had to use a propane torch to achieve sufficient heat to melt the solder. It’s easier to hold Anderson lug

vertical, heat it, fill it 2/3 of the way up with molten solder, and then quickly insert the wire. Let the wire cool so

that you can hold it in your hand before mating it to the plastic housing. Insert the lug with the red cable in the side

of the plastic housing labeled “+” and the black cable in the side of the housing labeled “-“.

Step 11. Connect the ends of the cable opposite the Anderson connector to the line side of the GE breaker in the

cargo bay. Secure firmly. Cover these wires with the cable protector between the breaker and the Anderson connector.

Step 12. Be sure that no copper is exposed on either line or load side of the breaker.

Step 13. Insert cable ties through the holes you drilled above and below the breaker cutout. Grab the wires behind the

plastic and pull the cable ties tight and cut off the excess. This will hold the breaker in place. Apply silicon seal to the

top, bottom, and sides of the breaker, and over the screw leads.

Step 14. Apply a liberal amount of silicon seal in and around the area where you drilled the hole for the conduit.

Replace the screws in the plastic liner around the cargo bay.

Step 15. Route the conduit along the under side of the car up to the electronics module under the hood. Make certain

that you do not interfere with the movement of the shocks, wheels, etc., and that you do not press against any

hydraulic lines. The pictures below show one of the two routings that we used.
