Dash Wiring & RF harness

I'm at the stage where I will be wiring the Ron Francis Dash harness to FFR cluster of guages. This looks particularly daunting as I am not well versed on the electrical.

Given the manual is weak on instruction and requests a daisy chain connection, how does one do that effectively?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Dump the whole works off at Ron's house, go grab a sandwich and when you come back it will be done!

Don't make it too difficult Henry 'cause it's not. It is simply a matter of gathering all of your gauge power feeds, or grounds, or lighting wires together and mating them to the corresponding wire from the RF harness. If you want to give me a call I'll try to talk you through it (I find it so much easier to have an actual live back and forth conversation rather than carry on a written exchange).

Cheers,
Jeff

Ditto what Jeff said. I just finished my wiring with the Ron Francis kit and you're right, the instructions do leave you hanging in a few spots. However, if you take your time and think about it for a minute, the light will come on. (pardon the pun...I couldn't resist) What I found useful was the schematic in the middle of the book - that fills in all the blanks. Good luck.

Unless Cobra Dude's name is Henry also, I think you may have mixed us up I'm south of the border
