Maxxus Waterfall Light Replacement?

<< < (3/3)

krock1200:
I have the led bar (inkl. cable) as well as the adapter. I wonder if I "simply"
1. can remove the old bar from the shell (using the Fein Multimaster)
2. pull out the old cable through the hole in the shell (if it not complete full with epoxy)
3. Cut of the cable from the old bar
4. Split the old cable together with the cable from the new bar
5. Push the cable back and glue the new bar to the shell

Hoping this all could work so I don't need to remove the wood panels or running the new cable/wire all the way back to the DCU.
Is that possible or just my wish ;-)?

1. can remove the old bar from the shell (using the Fein Multimaster)   That is how we do it

2. pull out the old cable through the hole in the shell (if it not complete full with epoxy) You will just cut the old ribbon cable and pull it up through the hole.  You will need to chisel out some of the epoxy.  A flat head screwdriver and something to hit it with will do the trick

3. Cut of the cable from the old bar
4. Split the old cable together with the cable from the new bar You can get a female ribbon cable fitting that can crimp on the end that you cut, and that adapter will plug into that
5. Push the cable back and glue the new bar to the shell  We put the new bars back with a 2 part epoxy like bond and fill.

Hoping this all could work so I don't need to remove the wood panels or running the new cable/wire all the way back to the DCU.

It is definitely possible.  We use the adapter and install a female ribbon cable fitting on the old wire to avoid having to take all the panels off and run the wire back to the DCU.
