Looking for Ideas

           Hey,

       I'm looking for some general tips on  properly hiding the wires within the vehicles interior. I am capable of doing it but i need to improve on my skills. I would totally appreciate the help. I am wanting to do installs on the side for extra money. If someone has some ideas forward them to me.

                                                                                      Thanx!

Here is some tips that I have learned over the past couple of years:

• for the larger gauge wires under the dash like ignition & power, etc.... I would measure out where I would put the CPU of the RS or alarm system and cut the wires to length and then wrap in electrical tape and then leave about 4 " from the point of solder so I have enough room to still strip back the wires and attach to the ignition harness
• for running wires for amplifiers, capacitors, and anything in the rear of the vehicle I try to remove the seat so I get more slack from the carpet and run my wires farther away from the door sill. There's nothing worse than having the entire job finished and tucked away and then you put back the door sill and find that the wires are in the way of the door sill seating itself properly
• for all the smaller gauge wires like LED, door locks, trunk release and any wires that come from the front to any part of the vehicle in a group, I like to take the loose end of the harness ( opposite of the molex plug ) and attach all the wires that I want bunched together and attach it to the end of my cordless drill. Attach the wires and tighten the chuck around the ends of the wires and plug the molex part of the plug into the CPU of the RS unit or alarm or whatever you are installing. Now slowly press the button on the drill and watch with amazment as the drill slowly ties all the wires together into a nice tight loom. With the tension on the wires take some elctrical tape and wrap the wires while still tight on the cordless and again leave enough room at the end of the loose wires to strip back the insulation and attach to the target wires.
• The better you tape up and loom the wires the easier it is to hide them. Nothing worse that having a crap load of loose wires to deal with when trying to run them from one end of the vehcile to the other.

Hope this helps you out and I'm sure there are other member's with good tips on how to hide and install a professional looking installation. Good luck and have a Merry Christmas !!
