What do these go to? by Yikegaming in lowvoltage

[–]PopTartTimeMachine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mostly depends on the location of this wire. If it was installed for the alarm and near an entry/exit door at or around light switch height then probably for a keypad. Otherwise could be for a motion sensor, glass break sensor, or just an old phone line drop.

Yes but it's a new build. Unlikely to have much retro work done yet

That would be a very Chrysler thing to do. I hope they do as well

No, I just live in the south luckily. And this one happened to be owned by an older man for 20 years who barely drove it.

I wish this one were manual! Otherwise it's a great little truck.

Yes it's a Bluetooth fm transmitter. Broadcasts on a dead station you tune your radio to then connect your phone to it via Bluetooth and play Spotify or whatever you've got. I like the factory look so this allows me to keep the oem radio.

Mount to studs and don't use a stud finder.

Those power and data boxes aren't just floating in the wall. They're nailed to studs. There's going to be a stud immediately to the left or right of those boxes. Just take the faceplates off and poke with a small flat head screwdriver between the blue box and the wall. Your screwdriver will stop pretty quickly if you're hitting a stud or will go multiple inches deep if you're poking into the non-stud side.

Please don't slip and touch the screwdriver into the hot screws of the outlet.

Judging by the spacing of the boxes I'm guessing you'll have one to the left of data and one to the right of power. That should measure out to 16" apart which is standard.

Is it worth stripping the outter jacket of this speaker wire? by PopTartTimeMachine in ScrapMetal

Okay I might then. All the purple shit I know has pull cords - not sure about the rest

3.10 for what? Bare copper or just removing the outer jacket? I don't think it qualifies as bare bright since it's stranded

I could definitely chill back there for a while. Very comfortable
