Re-Wired!

Much of time in the shed lately has been spent on re-wiring the truck. The primary goal was the relocate the both left and right front lighting loom segments, as well as the redundant starter solenoid and the associated wiring, as well as the wiring for the twin-thermo fans I installed so that I could fron the front sheet metal tubs to the quarter panels. I also wanted to clean up some other wiring that was messy, bad or just plain useless.

I rerouted and reconnected much of the LPG wiring, including the electric lock-off, fuel gauge and primer switch.

I also refactored the wiring I did behind the dash for the gauges, making it all much neater and in the process removing more redundant elements.

Today I finished it all off, and tested all the various systems without any dramas, except for a loose fuse in the airbag controller whch had me worried I'd messed something up for a few mins. By the end I seemed to have removed a lot of extraneous wiring from all over the place, loads of old insulation tape and plenty of old connecters

I'm pretty happy with the outcome, as all the new connections were soldered and covered with heatshrink before taping up again. Importantly, my front quarter panels are wire free!
