Routing Electrical Cables

• Establish a neat route for the cable, staying clear of moving parts or hot surfaces
wherever possible.
• Fix the cable to existing cable runs inside the vehicle using cable ties (item 4,
2-1), but make sure they are away from any moving or hot surfaces.
• When the cabling must go through a panel, use a suitable gland (item 3,
• When fixing the conduit or cable on the outside of a vehicle, use P-Clips (item 12,
Table 2-1). Either drill and tap the hole or use a nut and bolt to secure the clip.
• Make sure the cable does not have tight bends. The minimum recommended
radius is 2.5".
• Solder all fuse holders. DO NOT crimp.
• After soldering the fuse holder, file the solder flat where it comes in contact with the
fuse.
• On electric vehicles, take the power from as close to the battery as possible, but
not directly from the battery terminals, and not before any main fuse.
• On gasoline, diesel or propane vehicles, take the power from as close to the battery
terminals as possible, and avoid using existing wiring.
• All fuses must be as close as possible to the power source.
• If you are unsure of the correct power source, contact the vehicle manufacturer for
more information.
