IMPORTANT
-
When passing wires through the firewall into the main cabin always
use either an existing rubber grommet, or drill a hole and install a rubber grommet.
Before you d
rill into the firewall, check what is on the other side. Never run the
cables between the metal and the side of the grommet. Doing this may result in
chaffing of the cable insulation and cause a dead short to ground, which may also
lead to not only a produ
ct failure, but also a fire in the wiring loom.
IN THE MAIN CABIN
LED
(Light Emitting Diode)
Mounting
-
For security reasons it is important to mount the LED in such a position
that it is visible from outside both sides of the vehicle, as it acts as a v
isible
deterrent to a would
-
be thief. A spare switch blank is useful but make sure it is
visible.
Be aware of classic and expensive cars when considering a mounting location for
the LED. Some owners are very particular with their cars and it is sometimes
best
to discuss the location and mounting prior to starting the installation.
Wiring
-
Where a LED is mounted in a major panel, which may have to be removed
at any time, it is recommended that bullet terminals be used to allow for the easy
remova
l of the panel. Secure the car side of the LED harness with cable ties so it is
not lost behind when the panel is removed. Allow enough slack in the LED side of
the loom to allow easy removal of the panel. Also secure the back of the LED.
