Fuselage January 2008 Updates January 21, 2008 More wiring.... - 6.0 hrs Installed the battery case on the firewall. Want to get the battery hooked up to start testing the wiring and equipment. Installed the battery and connected the cables. Hooked up the battery cable to the EXP2Bus. Hooked up the transponder and audio panel. Perfect. Tested the headphones for audio. Perfect. Tested the GPS. Perfect. Tested the SL-30... well it comes on but the antennas are not hooked up so had to stop. Next I started hooking up the wires to the ACS starter switch. Fabbed up the left and right magwires. Made up a service loop with the wires behind the subpanel to allow the panel to slide out. Hit a road block with the EXPbus. not sure where to hook up wires 2 and 4 for the ACS switch. Going to have to quize the VAF brothers for help!
