Wiring - Front: Lighting and Cooling Fans (August 7 - 15, 2013)


This will cover the front lighting and cooling fan wiring harness fabrication.

This is the OEM style bulkhead connector which was relocated further outboard to get it out of the engine compartment. The right half of the connector is pretty much as American Autowire planned with exception of removing any unused leads. This will be only lighting and the horn lead.

  
    

Tying up with tape to keep everything straight and tangle free.






   

One horn will be mounted on each side near the front tucked up in the fender wells.





Similar to how I did the fuel pump leads, this will be encased in heat shrink for protection from the elements.












    
   









The inboard half of the OEM style bulkhead connector will be re-purposed for the cooling fans. First I removed all of the original leads which were intended for the engine connections. Then began recreating with the leads needed for the Delta Current Control PWM fan controller.

The one somewhat tricky item was accommodating the 8 ga. power and ground leads using the OEM style connector. I accomplished this by paralleling 2 10 ga. leads through the connector then connecting them to the 8 ga. leads. The controller requires 3 other leads as well.

   







This is the DCC PWM fan controller. I mounted it off of the grille/driver's side headlight support. Out of sight, close to the radiator and accessible if needed.
