Electic cutout - how to do wiring?
Electic cutout im gettin ready to do an qtp electric cutout on my car and wondering if anyone has pictures of exactly how they got the wires from under there car to inside and where did you mount the toggle switch and how u wired everything? any info would be great thanks
I don't have pictures but can explain what I did.My cutout location is under the rear passenger seat.At that location there is a rubber gromet in the floorboard.I ran the wires up through it and under the carpet.Removing the rear seat was nesessary.It was a bit of a pain getting my arm under the carpet but not terrible.Continue it under the carpet to the center console.I mounted the switch in the ashtray(non smoker). Very convenient location for the switch.There is enough cable to make it to the dash if desired.Actually quite simple.I had everything pre-wired just leaving the connection hanging below car and took it to the exhaust shop.Weld it in, attach the wire and done.

It comes with everything you need including detailed instructions. The instructions tell you how to mount the switch and where to put the wiring. You are going to need to remove the bucket from the passenger side rear seat. Cut a slit in the black floorboard plug, and pull the wire through it. Use a coathanger and run the wire under the carpet , into the console. Going to tap into the pink TCS wire and the black cigarrette wire for power and ground. Easy.
Yeah comes with everything needed.It can be done in about an hour or so.Mine came with a lighted toggle switch so make sure you hook it to a power source when key is on, or the LED could drain battery.
