If grounding terminals are not available, remove the paint from the surface of the metal
connected to the chassis to make the ground. Make sure the wires are not strained or
vulnerable to damage.
Routing and Protecting Cables
Cable Routing Guidelines
•
When routing outside of the vehicle or around sharp edges always use protective
sheathing, such as convoluted tubing or wire loom to protect the cables.
•
Use P-clamps and tie-wraps to secure cables and wires.
•
If drilling penetrates into an enclosed area, seal all holes to keep moisture out.
•
Whenever possible, route cables with any existing vehicle cables.
•
When reinstalling plywood sheets, be careful that screws do not penetrate cables.
•
Use rubber grommets when cables are routed through holes with sharp edges.
•
Use silicone sealant (RTV) around the 7-way where cables enter to prevent water
intrusion.
