Do you think you could offer it online as well lol? I would totally do that, but I'm in virginia, and I already have class tues/thurs.

i will be posting the powerpoints on my website after each class.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to explain every presentation in greater depth since you won't be able to attend the physical class.

Starting Feb 9 or 10th I will start posting them to parallel the class.

Well done. Interesting. Confirms what I have been researching recently re: lighting wiring.

Two questions however. (1) How do I locate the "constant on" under the dash? (2) To hook into the cigarette lighter means that I have to take the dash around it apart in order to get at that wire, no?

[RWCustoms]

1) its the Red Wire, usually larger than the rest, and in a main bundle of wires
2) Yes, in order to tap the cigarette power wire u need to get to it. Another method, although I dont recommend, is to find the fuse that powers the cigarette lighter and connect your wire directly to it

in your second powerpoint you have ECU labeled as an error check unit... thats incorrect it's the engine control unit

[RWCustoms]

my mistake... the slides are not 100% perfect, thanks and Corrected!

i probably have a few grammatical errors in there too somewhere
