Continue on wiring harness (part 3)
TLDR
- Installed the shunt
- Continued to tidy up wire harness
- Cable tied everything on the left rear of main spar
- Connected power to cabin overhead
- Connected tail harness
- Connected GSA 28 for elevator
- Pneumatic lines

Shunt
All holes are pre-drilled on the firewall. I added a few rivnuts and screwed the shunt, done.
Wires
I spent a significant amount of time tidying up the wires. Still not done yet, but made some progress.
Nothing is particularly difficult, but extremely time consuming. I ran the wires back and forth a few times to make sure they have enough length on both ends (rack, and wherever they need to be). And I started to cable tie everything from back to front.
Cabin overhead wires
4 wires from the harness needs to connect with the cabin overhead wires to power the cabin lights.
I elected to use GT150 delphi connector just because I have a few in my tool box. The process was slow due to spacing, but pretty straight forward following the wire diagram from MWPB.
Pin # | Harness Wire # | Cabin wire # |
---|---|---|
A | AFR45B22 | Front light positive |
B | AFR19B22 | Front light negative |
C | AFR46B22 | Rear light positive |
D | AFR47B22 | Rear light negative |
Pneumatic lines
Also connected the pneumatic plumbing in order to finalize the length needed to run through the center channel.
