    So my winter work this year is changing out the stereo head unit, my old unit is 10 years old,& at the same time cleaning up some wiring.
    Also running new compressor wires has when I changed from Viair 385 compressors I didn't up grade the wiring. And I am changing from fuses to the relays to breakers so can just pus a button to turn off the compressor when needed!
    Hope to get this work done before Dec, has having sugary on my right hand , & will be in a cast for a few weeks.

    These are the wires I had to shorten, go to 3 lighted rocker switches for manual fan on over ride, shift light & sub woofer on. They are causing the switches to push forward out of position , & I just putting off the task!

    This photo is of the wires going from 2 relays to the compressors, of which at some time got hot , wire installation did not burn but wire wrap covering started to melt . This is as when I went from Viair 385 compressor with a 30 amp draw to 485 compressors with a 40 amp draw I did not change the wiring . That is being addressed now, 10 nga wire to 8 ga wire, 30 amp inline fuses to 40 amp breakers.
    Work bench is loaded with wire work stuff.
    And new tuner getting wired up.
