cant reach

Thanks for the great info. I am stuck because I can't get my big hands or wire strpper to the wires. I managed to cut off the dead end but cant go any further. Has anyone figured this out. At 6' 7" with hands to match I cant do too much in the wayof acrobatics to get in there

thanks

2 things:

1. I would suspect the 4 same gauge pass through wires that terminate in the passenger side of the engine bay, would all be gauged big enough to carry 30 amp draw since you can connect ANY of them under the dash to the Aux 1 or 2 , 30 amp circuit.

2. I am going to install my Vision X 21" bumper bar tonight. It's right at 15 amps. I suppose the safe way would be to use Aux 1 or 2 and have some margin, but I hate to use up a 30 slot if I don't need to. ( for future equipment)

Thoughts?

2 wires are roughly 16 ga, the other two pass through a are probably 20ga. They are not all the same size

Your visionx should pull way less than 30 amps but check to be sure

The Vision x draws 15 amps...

And if the pass through wires are 16 and 20 ga then it's important to not use a 20 ga pass through hooked up to the yellow aux 1 and then wire up something thata draws a high amperage. I would have thought Ford would have put the 4 pass through wires gauged for worse case scenario, for any of the pass through to handle 30 amp draw.

The pass through wires are all 16 gauge. It is just the wires off the aux switches that are 16/20

All of my pass through wires were the same size as well.

All of my pass through wires were the same size as well.

Mine are two different gauges was just in there last week wiring up lights. Late 2012 model

 

[Hoverp]

My pass through were 12 ga.

My pass through were 12 ga.

I can't confirm the size but I know, at least on 13 and newer, that the pass through wires are the same. I feel like there has been some discussion on that @Huck. I can't recall. I'll have to see if it's noted in the model year changes.
