Brief Description:  Right side Switch install and lacing initiation

With the right-side console labels done, I could re-install the switches and dimmers and put the panel back in place. But, before I did that, I realized that the switch that turns on the light for the rear (and front) baggage compartments still only had the rear baggage light wiring done, so now was the time to go ahead and wire the switch for the front baggage light too. I grabbed some wire, printed off the wire labels for each end, applied those and crimped on a connector and ran the wire thru the conduit. Now I have the power wire ready and can make the ground wire later as it will run from the front baggage compartment light to the forest of tabs.

I also took this time to dive into the art of wire lacing. The right-side console wires are a bit of a spaghetti swirl, so I laced some of the wires together to keep the wires in a more orderly fashion. I still have some bare switches so I didn't do the main truck lacing, but it was good practice and it organizes the wires for this stage of the process. I will come back when the other wiring is done and finish the main trunk.
