Before we get into fall I'd like to add two fans in the cockpit suspended from the bottom of the TV. But, I need to locate a source of 12 volts. I've attached two photos of the compartments on either side of the TV. Does anyone know if there are any 12V wires in back of those two cabinets?
Also, should I not be able to easily fish the wires from the fans up through the bottom of the TV with out more access -- do the round wood "buttons" on the front of the TV (not shown) twist out for access to screws?
Other suggestions are welcome.
You should have 12 volt back there, but if you do not it would be an easy run down to the front door.
There should be 12vdc in drivers side upper cabinet after removing back panel
Yes , they are just pressed in & maybe a little adhesive to hold them. They pop right out & not screwed in.
When you unscrew the back panel of the cabinets you can get all the way accross to the other side.
George,
When I redid upgraded to a flat screen, I found a pair of 12V wires not used behind the cabinets along the front cap frame. You might have them too. BUT, to be sure, call the FT gurus and ask James Triana. He will tell you exactly what is and where is. ;D
I ran a spare12 ga. wire from the breaker panel (spare) around the console (mine picks up like the dash), through the dash, up the pilot W/S molding and to a 3-way dc appliance plug (cigar lighter). you could do the same for your lamps.
On my coach, the control for the TV antenna is behind the back panel of the cabinet to the right of the TV, and it uses 12 volts.
George,
My owner's manual lists extra wires. There are 3 extra from the dash area to the overhead by TV, labelled EX1, etc. The dash end of the wires is part of a bundle rolled up well forward of the drivers left foot that includes another dozen or so extra wires from the engine area.
