At last I had some time to work on the fuseblock wiring. I did some lacing and connected some loose wiring before noticing I had not wired the 12V cigarette lighter plug.



So I run the two needed wires. To insert the wires in the already done harnesses I use a spoonlike tool that is invaluable.

I fabricated a new bracket for the clamp and installed the other clamps around the panel rib lightening hole.

I first installed the shells on the connectors where they were missing. I then could clamp down the harnesses on the subpanel.
The picture shows the two C-clamps and on the left one of the d-sub connexions.



I then finished wiring the intercom and the audio mixer. I also modified the audio output wiring of the GPS, this will allow for easier rewiring depending on the outcome of the investigation on my GPS (answer in a few days).



I will have to modify the support bracket for the clamp that will hold the harness as it routes trough the rib hole, the wires might chaff against the hole edge.

I noticed yesterday that I have a problem with audio output of the GPS. I have no audio on the spaker or on the intercom. I made a few tests and got in contact with Garmin, they send me a replacement part, I'll see next week if it works.
In the meantime I changed the GPS connexion by installing a D-sub connector which will make testing easier and maybe switch to another GPS.



I also laced some of the harnesses, the left side is now almost done.

After some tidying up of the intercom wiring, I install the fuse to get some electrons flowing. I have a green light so all worked well. I test the intercom functions between each side, and it works.



I then switch on the radio and the fuse blows. After some investigation I fond that one of the plug is missing it's insulation washer. I then can test the reception by listening to the traffic at the nearby Lognes airport.
Next I try some transmission, but with no luck. First thing I find is there is a problem with one of the BNC connectors on the cable. I replace it, but I still have no transmission.
Some more investigation show that I have been mislead by one of the wiring diagrams and reversed two wires on the plug I soldered yesterday. After the wire are switched, I successfully test the transmission, the red light illuminates on the intercom panel and I can hear the transmission on a hand held radio.



Today we also completed the 2000th hour building.
