  • Ecutout

    so i got my badlanz e cutout, I have some questions for the wireing.

    1st: should i connect the red/positive wire on the switch to the ign12v or the 12v constant.

    2nd where are you guys running the wire from the cutout into the car?

    Re: Ecutout

    Mine is going in thru a drain plug (closest to the cutout) underneath the back pass side floormatt.

    You can knock it out, cut a small hole for the wire to go in and just run it under the seat to the console. Thats the quick way and its easy to hide the wire.

    I have my switch wired up to the radio so its hot when I start the car.

            Oh if you dont want to cut into your wiring... You can just open your fuse box in the engine compartment and pull one of the fuses that is a block, stick the red wire in one off the prong holes and push the fuse back in, now just ground out the black wire and it will work thats how i tested mine...oh and you know when its working cuz it has a led light on the switch.

                    Re: Ecutout

                    I didnt pull the carpet out. Just pull the plug out, use a razor knife cut thru the carpet enough to get the wire in and also cut a hole in the grommet for the wire.

                    Its much easier and less time consuming if you just wire it up the the hot wires in your radio. For me anyways.

                          No 2.5 I could have made it work but dude says it will hang to low. Think I'm gunna go with a bullet cat, 3" s pipe n all. He put a manual one on for me to see if I even liked it. It sounds gnarly. So I'll prolly do all this in the weekend.

                            All you have to do is take off the kick panels and reach under the carpet and just run it up the side. No need to pull your entire carpet and its better then cutting a hole in your carpet. Thats what I did. Also ran my switch to my radio. The fuse thing is kinda ghetto and makes me nervous, atleast get "add-a-fuse" or w.e.

                              agreed with whitdog ^ no need for all that work. i have the exact same badlanz cutout, got the stainless 3" with a 3.5" mouth and i love it. run it thru the boot plug and make a small cut in your carpet to pull it thru. the best place to run it is to your center console, the rocker switch fits PERFECTLY underneath the pull out plastic ash tray and stays completely stealth even if someone is looking for it. i've never had someone able to find it when i tell them to look as hard as they can.
