How to find the correct wiring supplies for my car/truck?
There are three factors to consider when you’re finding the right wire: size, material, and colour. It’s important to determine the right gauge for your application. The gauge will depend on the wire length between the accessory and the power source and the current draw. For automotive purposes, copper is an ideal material to use for its conductivity. Colours are often used to keep track of which wire goes where during installations.
What gauge wire should I be using for my project?
To find out what gauge you need, it will depend on the current draw of the circuit and the wire length between the circuit and the power source. It’s also important to review your owner’s manual to see what gauge of wire is used for certain components in your vehicle.
