Thread: Wireing Harness Help

Lots of answers to that question. I know a lot of people who love Painless and I admit that I strongly consider them when I purchased my wiring kit. But for me, I chose a Ron Francis kit. But my reasons may not work for you. The company is less than 70 miles from where I live. Their wires, like Painless and others, are color coded and labeled for easy identifying, also I wanted a kit that did not have the wires already terminated at the fuse panel. In come cases I wanted to replace selective wiring, and therefore did not want to have tie up unused wires. I bought their Bare Bones II set up with 16 fuses and 18 circuits (simialr to their new Express kits) since I was running a/c and would be adding other goodies in the future. I know I could have bought a smaller unit and have added more circuits on in the future, but that is mess that I had at the time. The builder put in an 8 circuit unit in to begin with and then previous owners added to it until it looked like a huge bowl of spaghetti.

Plus I wanted to add some other Ron Francis goodies like the turnsignal and the tilt wheel arms with push buttons to activate other goodies, in my case the horn and the headlight dimmer. So I figured best would be to keep with the same brand.

There are some cheap kits out there so be careful. Cheap in cost and in parts. Make sure the wires are rated high enough to carry the loads that you need. Especially the ones for the starter and other heavy drawing items.

Three companies that have very good kits are Ron Francis, Painless and American Autowire. There are others, some are good and some are poor.
