Short Description: Connect Tail Light Wires
|
The zip tie holder seems very secure in the tail. I was able to move the zip tie in the holder as I tightened it around the conduit, then trimmed off the end. I will prep several more of these to secure the conduit in the aft fuselage.
Used molex connectors to join the nav power, strobe power, and sync wires to the shielded 3-conductor I ran through the conduit back to the tail. Used a solder sleeve to add a ground for the shielding. Crimped on molex pins and sockets as shown in Stein video. Inserted pins in the connectors, then checked continuity from the left side original wire all the way to the tail, All wires checked good. Tail light will have a local ground as shown in plans.
