Woot Woot!!! Got my PRXB today from jelag...

I'm about to install tomorrow (depending on what the answer is here).



I need to tap a switched power source. The Pac Brake instructions say to tap a gray wire under the TIMP module with a scotchlock connnector. I have an aversion to those connectors in any environment that can be subjected to moisture.



1. Can I use the cigarette lighter wire to tap switched power? Or do you have another suggestion?



I'm getting a painless wiring kit from Geno's, but it won't be here until next week sometime. I don't think I have the patience to wait until it gets here to install the brake.



2. Has anyone installed a switch for the ground on the compressor? It seems to me a good idea to have a switch on the compressor. That way if an airline goes bad, or there's a leak somewhere the compressor can be switched off w/o unplugging the fuse.



Thanks!

For switched power I used a fuse splitter from Autozone. Unplugged the seat belt buzzer 10amp fuse, plug in the new adaptor. It has a spot for the original fuse and new fuse that has a 3" lead. Dremeled a small hole in the side of the cover. Cost was about $3 or so.

Good idea. I'll check out a Napa or something tomorrow. No Autozone that I know of around here...



Just something temporary until I get my box from Geno's.
