Aftermarket Wiring

Update on Ron Francis wiring. Well I finally finished wiring my car and I have to say the directions in the RF kit were pretty straight forward. I did call the Techinical Support hot line a couple of times and the person I spoke with was very knowledgeable. Usually the call went to voicemail but somebody called back withink a half hour. RF and I did not start off on the right foot but I will have to say I was very pleased with their product and the Techinical Support.

This was my first wiring job and I believe I passed the test! At least everything is working right now.

Here are tips that may be useful to anybody rewiring a car.

1. Mopar Ignition Switch and Turn Signal - The terminals used for these two items are called Molex terminals and can be purchased through Terminal Supply (http://terminalsupplyco.com/Default.aspx).

2. Ratchet Crimper - I purchased a this ratchet crimper through Amazon.com and it was a life saver. It comes with 5 dies and is also sold at Sears for about $40 more. Amazon.com: S & G Tool Aid 18920 Ratcheting Terminal Crimping Kit- 5 Piece: Home Improvement

3. Terminals - I removed all of the insulation on the terminals utilizing a plastic retractable razor blade heated with a propane torch. I crimped the terminal utilizing the Non-Insulated ratchet crimper die. I could see I had a nice crimp then I just used some shrink tubing and a heat gun.

4. Take your time!

Hopefully these tips will help. Finding the Terminal Supply company took me a long time as most places will not sell Molex terminal indiviually. I didn't have a need for 5,000 terminals!



that crimper looks liek it fits just about everything.. do the directions say what insert is for what kind of terminal?
