Sorry I am late to the thread. Here is a picture of the inverter mounted. I have pictures of the connectors if you would like. Also I had the battery covers out over the weekend but didnt see this request until today. I will try and see where the wiring starts in the battery area later this week.
On a USA spec vehicle the inverter is on with the engine running or you can flip the PWR switch in the overhead console and that allows it to be on with ignition off.
Thank you so much! this is why I like this forum.
What a legend you are my man !!! Thank you !!!
I will be back in the battery box sometime this week to investigate the front off road only aux lights. I will send pics of what i find on the inverter wiring while I am there. Retro fit is probably possible. Also one thing to note is that the rear trim panel is different on vehicles with inverter. It is vented for air flow.
This looks interesting. I could cut the venting in my housing if I do the retrofit in a similar way. Still thinking about the cabling.
quarter panel available for order form ineos . The vents are nto the only change . it has a different hump yo accomodate for the inverter . Not really expensive i think aprox 250 ? if i recall correctly and then it comes with the holes for the pulgs already pre drilled .
good man this is what i pieced together also . the main power to the inverter is from the buss bar you pointed at . the only change would be the fuse between the 400w and 2000 w inverter .
I am installing my "supposedly" 2800 Watt Chinese invertor. (This is peak, so in fact it is a "more or less" 1400 Watt). The fuse inside the invertor is 120A.
Do you think the stock unit could be swapped out for a higher wattage unit?
It has 8 gauge power and ground wires which can supply a lot of power. They are direct to the battery from what I see. No fuses. So depending on what inverter you want to swap with I don’t think it would be hard.
There has to be a fuse on the buss bar . Or is it directly connected to the positive battery terminal ? If i am not mistaken the inverter power wire is red with a brown stripe .
The buss bar accepts z littlefuse fuses . They are sandwiched between the post and the nut . They have their rating written on the side .
Remind me again what you will be powering?
I don't know, only for the fun of having it, perhaps charging my computer when travelling?
You don't need such a big inverter. If you were running an induction cooker or charging multiple batteries that's different.I don't know, only for the fun of having it, perhaps charging my computer when travelling?
I know, like I said: for the fun of having installed it myself, that's a valid reason.
