[QUOTE="Kangaroux, post: 7529377, member: 628495"] Almost there... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MAqsY.jpg[/IMG] Had to strip down the wiring coming from the fuse box. The insulator on the wire isn't even rubber, it's hard plastic. Biggest PITA to cut ever [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZRvoF.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CRC5X.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bM91s.jpg[/IMG] Because I don't have any hydraulic crimpers or bolt cutters to crimp the terminal, I had to go down in my basement and bring the table vice out.
