Big Red Update

Making progress.

1) Power restored to truck cap, replaced shitty aluminum covered copper ground wire with pure copper wire, carefully crimped and sealed with heat shrink. My hope is that this will stop or retard corrosion where the connector is located.

2) Switch to provide solar power to the starting battery and main vehicle system is installed and working. Now if I’m parked somewhere sunny I can open and shut doors, roll down and up windows, use the radio, or even just top off the starting battery without ever turning the engine on. Due to the inductive spike problem I’m not going to bother with led indicators for now, I might revisit eventually.

3) Repaired a loose but not yet broken wire on one of the lights in the truck cap.

4) Pried off clip from the broken truck window support, I am going to replace that tomorrow.
