What happens here

Autocar employs a 'plug-and-play' wiring system for integrating body components onto the chassis. This means that instead of cutting and splicing wires, which can lead to electrical issues (gremlins) and void warranties, body manufacturers can simply plug their systems into pre-existing ports behind the cab and at the rear of the chassis. This significantly simplifies the customization process, protects the integrity of the electrical system, and reduces installation time and potential for errors.

Goal: Understand the simplified wiring system for body installation

What they say

at the manufacturer than to have some guy that we don't know what he was doing the night before if he was smoking or drinking and he comes in with a bad attitude that day and he misses something because that is I had one guy when we were repairing that freight liner out there he's like oh you would't believe all the wires I had to cut and I'm just like that is the last freaking thing you say to a guy right you don't do that so these guys make sure that you can come in it's Plug and Play yeah like this when you want to add a body and by doing that what else does it do right it's protecting this manufacturer against claims that the body manufacturer is doing when they're when they're hooking this truck up when you come back from body manufacturer know all the lights are on and we're having all this trouble very often it has to do with SP wiring and and it's really it's really no shade on the body manufacturer they have hundreds of models and makes coming through and their job is to weld the hinges on set the body on paint it make it look nice and work th this keeps it the truck is the truck and the body is the body all right so autocar chassis are 100% steel they're hang out yeah okay go ahead Tony go ahead say what you got to say right here yep go ahead yep 100% Steel heavy duty how you feeling after that pretty good so think you can take both of us you freight liner or pack car mirror like pack car mirror would be roughly about $1,300 if you should damage this mirror which I promise you you will do and this mirror here would be roughly about $450 installed and painted so the difference again is buy components from the manufacturers
