noone ever gets to complain about too many wires again

like the title says, noone ever gets to complain about too many wires =P

76 inches each times 26 strands = 165 feet of wire..

for what you ask?

to move teh hvac controls to the door panel, and thats just the 3 *****, not the 3 buttons, the 3 buttons would probably make me break 200 feet in wire...

sad sad stuff

wish me luck, im prolly gona be soldering for a LONG time tonight

you should use 25 pair phone cable..its 24 guage and all color coded. about 3/4 or an inch in diameter..they also have 75, 100, 150 and so on pairs...you could also use some cat3 or 5 cable...4 pairs in each and very cheap per foot.

1 - no one wants to go through this much work for moving a/c controls
2 - takes lots and lots of molding fiberglass and bondo to get the ***** to fit right, you basically have to redo your doorpanel
and
3 - its the type of project that if you can do it, you already know how

i can, i connected a whole computer lab with cat 5 cable and had to make my own wires, so i have to connect 10B T connectors to each side of the cables, and each side had about 6 to 8 wires on each end. that took a week. i think i did about 40 computers... i was only 13 at the time...

I was once mounting a gage on a mustang, drilled too far into the wrong part of the dash, and the bit came out covered in rainbow shavings,... i went right into the harness,.... I had to pull the entire dash, and reconnect some 30 wires (60 solder pts), all upsidedown on my back. YIKES

wiring's been done since wednesday morning =)

doors are put on hold because of the weather though. fiberglass doesnt like suring in colder weather. it takes much longer to kick and all...

but i live in miami, which means cold weather lasts 5 or 6 days, then goes away for 3 weeks... itll be 85 and sunny by next week -)
