Query for those that installed "Chase" type Sequential tail lights...

[Charlie Sheen]

When you ran the wire up to the battery, did you have to remove the battery to get to the grommet underneath it? Got any pics?

TIA

I ran mine into the passenger side fuse panel and connected to the 'hotness' there.

+1 did both of mine that way. It was listed to do it that way in my directions....

 

[Charlie Sheen]

Crap. I thought that you had to run a hot wire directly to the battery on the chase type lights. Thanks anyhow though

I'm just trying to finish up something that I started 6+ months ago

I did mine in May 2005, I went to the battery. And yes, I removed the battery to feed the wire through.

I grabbed my hot connection off of the power connections for those Shaker 1000 amplifiers.

Seems to work just fine and I didn't have to run a mile of wire!

Hope this helps.

Don !!!!! We had this settled and you had to go and fuck it up!

Sorry... I did mine so long ago, I didn't know any better at the time. haha

I have amplifiers in my trunk allready with distribution blocks, so I just caught power there. BUT...
When I did the GT500 fuel pumps on a Whipple install for a buddy of mine (NOLAGT on the other forum), I did not have to remove the battery to feed the wire. I also did not have to remove it when I ran the power for my bottle heater at BAP through the same grommet.
I did have to remove the inner fender liner and then get a couple of new clips from Ford.

My kit from Meter4it actually came with a spade nose connector that plugged into the passenger fuse block. You could probably get one at Radioshack or Autozone for 10 cents.

I hate wiring.


LOL. Actually, I was trying to figure out where the grommet behind the battery was located because I need to run a wire through there (and I wasn't near an S197). As luck would have it, Nick (S197GT) was at the Whipple factory yesterday and with his Redtop I got a good clear view at the back. However, thanks for all the help guys.

Add me to the "add-a-fuse" system in the passenger compartment...

Didn't meter-4-it add that writeup after someone on the other site did the add-a-fuse thing?

 

[Charlie Sheen]

I wasn't looking for a 12v source. I needed to pass some wires through the firewall on the passenger side.

Hey, I'm just trying to jump on the bandwagon...

Extra points if you can name the movie and actor (for the second line)....

Ghostbusters?

"May I speak with his brother then? Mike? Mike Hunt?"

Crap, I found the webpage and the instructions aren't at all as I pictured. I apologize for my "Senior" moment, but after all, the "S." in Stanley S. Roper is for "Snotty". I pullled my battery, yanked the grommet out and saw the cabin filter staring right back at me. Dammit. Right turn Clyde.

Booo, hiss, NO.
