New technology in automotive wiring harnesses. I recently came across an article in my NSRA monthly on wiring harnesses that eliminate fuses. This seems like something I might be interested in if I had plans to rewire my car. I am wondering about the reliability and they don't give any info on theory of how it works. The prices seems reasonable. Maybe someone else has seen this harness or has some input/comment about it. http://www.toplinewireandcable.com/#!tlw-8--tlw-20/c4qh
that does look really good for the price. its over $200 less than what i spent on my ron francis access 24/7 harness.
I just finished talking to Carl at TopLine Wire and Cable, forget about any more fuses/circuit breakers, this is all modern technology! Just have to splice into headlight plugs, tail lights etc.....wiring is all marked out and made of cross link, so totally fire rated. Carl was very helpful in explaining how the system works and module can be mounted anywhere in our vehicle, as you do not require access to fuses or breakers! I was looking at Ron Francis kit, but I am sold on TLWC! Almost half the cost of a Ron Francis, check out TLWC site and/or give Carl a call, 1 855 586 0577
this would be awesome until you have to troubleshoot electrical issues. no fuses or breakers to check.
Ur probably right! Be a gud idea to get all these questions resolved b4 committing to buying one. I like the concept of not havin fuses and able to locate the box wherever. The units are supposed to be water resistant/proof; wonder if they will tolerate mounting under hood. Also questions on the companies history, seeing that this is the 1st. I have ever heard of them.
to design and build something like this is pretty easy... make sure you find out what amperage each circuit can take.
One cud say the same thing abt drum brake vs disk, carb vs efi , vac op wipers vs electric and lots of other things that have changed over the years. "They were all changed for a reason." I am open to technology - I wud not go back to any of the old school things I have mention, but, I do have "each his own policy". I wud not be surprised if the auto mfg's went to something like this in the future..
I'd like to see more info, I wonder if it's along the same line as these: http://isispower.com/products/#aftermarket
new tech is awesome. I dont want to limit my troubleshooting options though. newer cars they were actually talking about going to a higher voltage on the electrical system so they could run smaller wiring and save vehicle weight. a new fuse setup is in my future for my comet someday.
I have seen this setup b4 on one of the tv shows. I believe it is lot more sophisticated setup in all respects. I have never seen the system I posted in the #1 post.
