Brief Description:  Right Console Panel Wiring

I was getting the switches in the right side console wired one by one. I came to the Master Switch and got the ground wire and when I looked for the wire going to the battery contactor.....it wasn't there! I realized that in my focus to get all things like lights and other electrical things run to the breakers and fuses.....I neglected to complete three wires that went to the electrical bay....such as the wire for the master to the battery contactor

So I began to plan the wire routing which meant removing the fuse bay cover as that was going to be the best routing for the wire. The problem is as you get more done it gets a little more difficult to route more wires.....of course it can be done....but it just gets a bit more time consuming.

I got innovative by using a 1/16 TIG welding filler wire and used it as a fish line to get the wire through the right gear tower. I put some shrink around the wire and the end of the filler rod and shrunk it to both. Then I pulled the filler rod back through the wire came right along....easy peezy. The wire was now run...although the whole process took some time...it is there!
