Hi all,
Recently purchased a solar panel from renogy, I am preparing the cabling internally, I've managed to feed the cable down the d pilar, I wonder if use the barn door grommets or feed the cable through the rear canvas ( mine is storm and his velcro opening at the rear)
Cheers mate. I'll look at doing that then. Although I may need to find another grommet as I've already got my wires from the battery going to the DC to DC going through the one behind the battery!
Just a standard 3 pin socket under the bonnet, there’s enough gap between the grill and bonnet when closed and there’s enough space to mount the socket near the van battery. There is a grommet in the bulkhead behind the battery.
No need to spend a fortune or chop holes in your van.
...done if you want hook up I would run some arctic cable in conduit now, it’s not that expensive if you buy from an electrical wholesalers and then you can add the CU and sockets later. I put my consumer unit under the bonnet out of the way and used the grommet behind the battery to run the cable.
...van with jet hose plus snow foam and no leak. First bit of rain this morning trickle of water.... (van was parked over night). Cant see the grommet under the dash, there is a grommet under the brake booster in the engine bay with a black pipe going through it but I cant see how its leaking...
...support: 2x 1C0 867 388
Rubber strip between grille and bonnet: 2x 7LA 823 707
Side panel indicator repair wire: 2x 000 979 034 E
Rubber grommet between windshield washer reservoir and filler neck: 7E0 955 489
With that out of the way let me show you the rest of the process!
The van is back...
Pick up the +ve from the starter battery via a suitable fuse, come through the grommet in the bulkhead behind the starter battery to wherever the B2B is located. Pick up a body earth stud close to the charger.
...off, you will need a puller tool though.
Pull the plastic cowling off and you can see clearly if the holes are blocked. They aren’t that big so this would be your issue.
There is also a large grommet to the right of the steering shaft although these are quite a good fit so I doubt it’s that.
Yea I do recall searching around a fair bit. There’s a removable panel behind my rear locker. I think that’s how I found access.
I used a coat hanger. Attached the end of the cord to the end with electrical tape. And I also used long zip ties to find a path and then pull the wire through.
Thanks, this is encouraging! I have a standard Skyline. Though I'm intrigued how you managed to find the grommet with it being completely boxed in. Did you use rods?
...the ridge all the way to the back. I popped out the round lights to help me move it along
- at the back corner it was tricky finding the grommet behind my rear cupboard but I got there
- then through the hose into the tailgate
- and I brought it back out behind the panel at the base of my...
...will be post D121 splice)
Next Step:
1. Spliced new red wire from T10g plug (grey plug, red wire, Pin 3) in e-box, fed through bottom rubber grommet and zippy tied to harness to G83 sensor
2. Spliced opposite end of red wire onto Pin 1, red wire at G83 sensor
3. Spliced new brown wire from...
...put away- 80% sure the issue was the loose front roof rail. Still waiting on others to input before using the sealant! I’ve found blanking grommets on eBay- various sizes so hopefully straight forward fix on that front. I bought the van converted, paper work shows that Wakefield Van Works...
