Default 3 install questions???

(1)On the Harlan window switch, I ran the white wire to the ground side of my FPSS and wired everything else according to the NX instructions...is this gonna work?

(2)Can I run all of the switched 12v connections off of the 12v radio wire? Not sure how many amps everything draws.

(3) For all of you guys mounting your bottle between the rear seats, what are you doing with the blow down tube? Are you cutting a hole right there in the hump or running a line somewhere else?

Finally got around to installing this thing after having it for 3 weeks...all I have left to do is wire up the switches and change the plugs...then take it for a test drive.

Question 1 Sounds right

Question 2 Run a new wire for the window switch. Better safe than sorry.

Question 3 If you mount the bottle between the back seats then get yourself some rubber hose to route the blowdown back out the passenger side rear pannel where the spare tire would be. If you look at the bottom of the spare tire well there is a hole there drill it out and feed the hose threw there for safety.

Hope this helps. Question 3 is what I am in the mits of doing so I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

there is a rubber drain plug under the rear seat on the passanger side just run it out there. I would use the spare acc. outlet in the fuse box and a inline fuse

On question #2, you can use the same 12v switched wire for all of your activaion switches as long as they are used to activate a relay first. The relay activation only uses milla amps and even the combined draw of 3/4/5 switches is minimal amp draw. I've done this many times, no problems.

12v wire behind the radio would be good or on the fuse block

Ya I was thinking the fuse block easier to get to but how do I splice into this and which one do I want to splice into. Wiring is my soft spot.
