OPTIONAL BODY BUILDER HARNESS
Through the use of an optional body harness and additional spare circuits, we have tried to reduce the complexity associ
-
ated with adding common circuits to a body installation .
The most common circuits that body builders may need are pre-connected to this
optional wiring harness.
The optional body harness can be connected to the chassis harness through a standard connector mounted on the left
hand frame rail directly behind the battery box . See Figure 8–20 .

Location of Standard Body Harness Connection
For shipping purposes the body harness is coiled and shipped loose in the cab . The body harness wire ends are tagged
with circuit markers, identifying the connecting circuit . See Figure 8–21 on the next page .
Body Builder Power and Return (Ground)
All body builder Power and Return lines must be connected directly to battery terminals
and be properly fused . Using the frame as a Return (Ground) is not allowed . Using the
frame as a Return could result in the creation of ground loops and damage electronic
devices on the truck.
