D2 Harness Question Please??

Hi,

 

I'm setting up the harness for my new D2 to go into my Toyota FJ. I also have the Toyota harness plug and it has a wire for ground and one for the constant power.

 

The D2 harness has those wires connected to a black box that is about 15 inches away on the harness and a 10a fuse on the yellow (constant) and two black (ground) wires mated to a single black ground wire coming out of it.

 

What is that box? Do I need it? My harness would look a lot better if I made those 2 the same length as the rest of the wires. But I don't want to cut it out if I need it.

 

So should I cut the black box off the harness that the yellow and black go through? I could just run the yellow (constant) and black (ground) to the Toyota harness. I would splice the 10a fuse into the yellow if necessary.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve B.

Leave the box in tact. From what I remember there's a noise filter in there. If the harness isn't perfect it's not a big deal. Besides you could just extend the rest of the wires the same length as constant and ground are.

Thanks, I suspected that might be the case. I will keep the box.
