It is not the ugly wiring mess I need the help with, time and effort will fix that, but it is what seemed like such a good idea at the time is the trouble.

The original inspiration was to mount the wiring panel under the passenger’s seat in a sliding drawer, sounds easy in front of the computer in the middle of winter, but now I think I need serious psychological intervention to prevent future dumb ideas like this happening again. What a pain! Do you think a partial lobotomy might help?

Glad I'm not the only one with great ideas that turn out to be nightmares in application.

Lol all I can say is wow

I feel your pain!

On another note, it's looking great!

Probably more like a circumcision with wire cutters.

I would have thought that once I stopped thinking with that (many years ago, for the most part) that I would be a little smarter,………………… apparently not!

Funny how the image in your head of a finished project often never seems to match the finished article ...... it does look good

Man, truer words where never spoken!

So I have lifted those power seats with the two 200 lb. electric motors each in and out one time too many, as I have been out of commission for a week and second trip to the chiropractor today.

Getting old sucks !!!

Checked at the shop and the mice and rats have not done one stitch of work on the project, man it’s hard to get good help for free (or even when you pay them) so I fixed them, and we will not discuss what the lazy old sleeping border collie has accomplished. Oh well, the economic recession and my over spending on cars has caught up with me so there is no extra money until I can think of another scheme to sneak it.

Should be back in the shop by Sunday and the time off has given me time to regroup on the wiring snake den, I’m thinking that as the consul covers that center section maybe a hidden terminal connection block might straighten and tidy things up?

I see you grow healthy pack-rats there too!

Hope you get to feeling better. Thanks for the updates - it's nice to know somebody is getting something accomplished on their trucks.

I'm finishing last years major home remodeling project for the missus.

That's a rat in the second picture? Haven't seen one like that before. Looks like an offspring if a rat and a squirrel got together on one lonely night.
