[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16589200, member: 70025"] Okay, after I got everything wired up it was time to reinstall my electrical panel under the dash. What a pain in the _ _ _! Trying to hold it with one hand and then use my drill to screw it in place with the other hand was not fun, but I got it done. Sorry no pictures of this as I have shown pictures on the panel in place earlier. After I got the electrical panel in place I added the 2AWG cable from the battery to the power distribution block and I added a 4AWG ground wire from the ground distribution block to the chassis. There is a 2AWG cable from the negative side of the battery to the chassis as well. So, in my set up disconnecting the negative side of the battery will not disconnect power from the car, but only unground the battery it self. Only disconnecting the positive cable from the battery will disconnect the power to the car. (NOTE: Everything is temporarily wired for testing purposes only) Here I got my gauges reinstalled. [ATTACH=full]1692909[/ATTACH] I wired my gauge lighting to my light switch. So, when I pull my light switch to the on position my gauges light up as intended. Man that G.T. 427 looks sweet. [ATTACH=full]1692910[/ATTACH] Here you can see when my switches are activated they light up. [ATTACH=full]1692911[/ATTACH] My door and under dash courtesy lights work. Not pictured, but even my glovebox light works :D. [ATTACH=full]1692912[/ATTACH] It's hard to see, but those of you with a sharp eye will notice the door panel on the drivers door is removed. The door popper in this door was fried. It was fried before I blew the motor (No.... my wiring did not fry it as the passenger door works as it should LOL). So, I removed the door panel and ordered a new door popper, so it will work as it should. [ATTACH=full]1692913[/ATTACH] When I pull my light switch to light up my gauges my tail lights and license plate light comes on as they should. Got to love it when things start coming to life :D.
