EXTENDING WIRING ASSEMBLIES 

All wiring assemblies come with a length of cable that is acceptable for typically installations. If a longer 
length is needed, you can order the cables made to the appropriate length (additional charge may apply) 
or extend the cables by cutting the middle of the cable harness and applying soldered or solderless (e.g. 
crimped)  extensions.  Please  ensure  that  extension  wire  is  the  same  or  thicker  gauge  wire  to  prevent 
possible issues with wire overheating.
