The plug for the ewp and temp sender! It doesn't need re-looming. The plugs are to big to go thru the bulkhead easily and about 4" short so it was easier to chop em off feed them thru the bulkhead thenextend em and put the ends back on. The loom is fine. If you put the controller in the glovebox it'd fit with no extending! But it looks neat in the cubby under the colum

Yes to be honest it would be easier to stick it in the glove box. But it is niceer to have it in the cubby. I'd forgotten about the plugs and sensors, also too big to go through exisiting holes.

Its obviously different to my controller then. How about extending the "warning lights and things"
bit difficult to judge without seeing it.

see what you mean - pity the lights are all on the controller, but having it in the glove box or the cubby isnt very easy to see, either.
Having looked into it further - I cant see why you cant extend the EWP & fan switching lines to a couple of LEDs in the cab. That would be the easiest option, shirly?

There's one remote led. The rest are on the controller. If it was under my bonnet it'd be dead by now! Just found the best place to put it! Sod the expense

DC are pretty specific about it being mounted in the cab. My guess is that it doesn't like the elements like moisture and genereal grime.

Yeh fair point, you could probably protect it. It is nice in the cab but I think given that it took most of the time to get it in there it would be cheaper to install in the engine bay.

You'd still need to get some wires thru! That's what took most time so it wouldn't be that much quicker! Second ones always quicker

Yeah - but just running thru 3 or 4 wires for warning lights would be a lot easier - no?

Yes as far as I know the warning light would be the only thing to thread through, not desperately hard. Bloody bright when it comes on you int gonna miss it!
