Building and testing a new snowplow truck on a lot thats never been plowed 4 k video
What happens here
Disconnect the truck's battery (negative terminal first) for safety before beginning electrical work. Remove the truck's grille and headlights to access the wiring harness behind them. Install the headlight adapter kit, which typically involves plugging into existing headlight connectors and routing cables for the plow lights. Next, route the main control wires from the engine bay, through the firewall, and into the truck's cabin. This may require drilling a hole through the firewall or utilizing an existing grommet. Finally, locate the vehicle's fuse box under the hood. Install the provided fuse tap by inserting the original fuse into the tap, then inserting the plow's fuse into the tap, and finally plugging the tap into a low-amperage, non-critical circuit within the fuse box (e.g., cigarette lighter or radio circuit). This powers the plow controller.
Goal: Connect the plow's electrical system for power, lights, and control.
