Wiring help

GaWag · Aug 25, 2016

Getting ready to start wiring. Wiring is not my strong point. I have bate minimal electronics. Anyone point me in the right direction for good info? I've been searching but not having luck.

Kill switch
Push button starter
DUI distributor
Starter
CS-144 ALTERNATOR

accessories i can handle. Thanks if you can.

Use relays for heavy loads such as fans, fuel pump and lights. Everything on my buggy runs through manually resetable circuit breakers that way I don't have to carry spare fuses with me on the trail.

Thank you very much. I agree with the heavy wiring.

What I really need is a guideline as to where everything goes in order from batt to starter, apparently the cs-144 needs some diodes and such. I've been searching and am not finding much help. Almost feels like wiring harness building is a closely guarded secret!

Steve just look up a standard wiring schematic and pic one you like.

I can help with wiring if you have any questions. I cant promise I have all the answers but I'm sure I can help get you there.

Kerry, it's a bit overwhelming for me. Plus since I'm not efi a lot of the harnesses don't seem to fit.

Werewolf thank you. That's similar to what i found before. I will look further in to it.

Private message and text sent Patrick. Thank you.
