Newer versatile monitor cable routing

north1 · 12-03-2011, 08:33 PM

On new versatiles(485-575) where are montior cables supposed to exit the cab? Have read the manual three times and cannot find anything about where to rout cables for airseeder/nh3 monitors. Also probably a real stupid question, but the jacks on the monitor bar inside cab have three prongs. One prong is key switched 12 volt power, one is live 12 volt power and the other is ground. Previously I ran cables directly to battery, so what due I do with monitor wire previously hooked to negative post on battery? Thanks for any replies.

If you look up under the back of the cab from the hinge area you will see a plate with two bolts, remove that and you will see where the cables run through the floor, it has really thick foam so you reinstall it when you are done. Inside the cab you remove the lower panel behind the seat, it also provides a place to store excess cable.
Hook your negative wire to the ground prong, negative and ground are the same thing, almost everything built since around 1970 is negative ground.

Thanks offroadnt. Man a guy feels stupid when the obvious eludes them. Knew that once I read your post. Also noticed an unused round rubber plug (grommet) to the right of the square plate a guy could also use. Thanks again!

Hey no problem, had the cab almost stripped down when I did the transmission. I managed to hide almost all the air seeder, two way radio and Outback cabling behind the right side counsel and rear cover, only problem is the corner post bracket is overloaded so I need a way to stiffen it up

. I guess I could move the air seeder control panel to between the right pillars.
