Dash wiring rearrange
Submitted by Rob H on Wed, 2014-09-10 19:50
got a bit tired of looking at the underside of my dash panel, it probably started off good but then all sorts of addons have been fitted with inline fuses all over the place.
Bought a Narva 12 fuse panel of Autoelecau, and chopped, re-routed and replaced a fair bit of wire.
Still looks a little untidy to me but the only inline fuse now is the "always on" bilge pump.
Gave it all a test run to the islands last week with Dan (Bitten) and another mate, much easier if you need to fault find a dodgy piece of equipment.

That looks like the underside of my dash too. I am trying to slowly clean it up, especially as I replace the radios. I had a couple of coils of wire under there, each about 5-6m long. Whoever did the original wiring didn't bother shortening the wires, just coiled them up and stuffed them in there.

The Narva panel is really well made EXCEPT the stickers peel the paper off as well.
Had a whinge to them and they posted a new set out-exactly the same

Sweet
Mate,
Nothing better than getting in there and clearing out the crap other people have been too lazy to do anything about in the first place. Makes for easier problem solving and a lot safer because less chance of short circuiting and causing a fire. Well done.
