Any pointers? I have the American harness for our trucks.. Looks really nice. I cut the firewall the other day and just stared at the box a few minutes.
Lay it all out on the ground beside your truck and start thinking about where everything goes. Don't cut any wire until you have them all in place and tested. You can go back later and tidy up after you check to make sure things work. From here, it really comes down to individual issues you run into. I had a heck of a time with my back lights. Turned out the taillight housings weren't grounding properly to the truck. Speaking of which, make sure you have plenty of ground. That'll cause you headaches if every part of your truck is not properly grounded.
