I'm in wiring Hell with my Mopar and this helped me a lot. Thank you for putting these videos together

[@thecynic807]

Cool i had no idea that wires just looped through. Now I think I understand how to wire the headlight switch.

[@firebird8600]

Very neat, and informative! I have subscribed and will wait for your next video.

hi where can i find the diagram you typed on your moms computers. i would like to print it. thank you for your video very informative

[@albertovasquez7858]

Does this wiring have for the dash liights

[@poortouringhotwiregarage5617]

No. You have to wire those yourself coming off of your headlight switch. Every gauge cluster has different style bulbs and sockets so they don't even bother supplying them. Just reuse your original ones or go custom

[@shawnrogman2423]

Do you have a video of installing this harness? Mainly the original column

[@poortouringhotwiregarage5617]

Really depends on what column you're trying to wire. If it's a mid 70's to 80's GM column, the connectors that this harness come with "plug right in" supposedly. I don't like running those columns in my hot rods because I think they look cheesy and out of place in an old car. This is my most recent video.kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXaqoJiYbJV_bsk It is the beginning of installing the harness in my dad's '40 Chevy truck. I'm using the original column in it with an aftermarket clamp on turn signal switch and the ignition switch is on the dash.

For the brake switch do I use a two connect switch instead of a switch that have a four wire connector

[@poortouringhotwiregarage5617]

I always use a 2 post. A 4 wire connector is probably to disable / enable cruise control. Just a guess

Hi I have the same harness I’m trying to wire up a 1949 Chevy truck I’m using the 4 prong brake switch this is a more modern build my question is do you use the Orange wire to plug in to the brake switch as of now I have no brake lights and no running light in front but everything else works this is my first one I’ve wired up so just a little confused

[@fredroberts1823]

Do you have any think on wireing the turn signal that mounts on sterrring

[@poortouringhotwiregarage5617]

I need to do a video on that still, but no. Best advice I can give you is buy a universal 12v turn signal switch off of eBay or Amazon. They have a color coded wiring diagram that comes with them and it's pretty self explanatory. This is VERY IMPORTANT though!! Make sure you wire everything in and install all of the correct bulbs front and rear (usually 1157s) or the flasher relay WON'T work!! A test light doesn't draw enough current to switch the relay

@@poortouringhotwiregarage5617 Thanks. For quick reply

[@fredroberts1823]

Thank you for your quick reply and good information. It would be great if you do one on turn signal because I don't think you can wire a older turn signal controller to the fuse box with 2 flashers .keep up the good work

[@poortouringhotwiregarage5617]

@@fredroberts1823 you can wire up the original turn signal switches on a lot of older vehicles. I did it on my 1st car years ago ('50 Pontiac Chieftain) but you won't be able to wire the hazard flasher in without running a separate switch. Guess I really need to make that turn signal video soon

[@albertovasquez7858]

Is the wiring harness from southwest performance

[@poortouringhotwiregarage5617]

No. You can get them all day long on ebay for around $85. Just search - 12 circuit universal harness. Avoid the ones with the narrow rectangular fuse box, they're pretty junkie. Get the square GM style box style ones insead

what wires do you use for the voltage regulator

[@poortouringhotwiregarage5617]

Depends on your generator or alternator setup
