It is desired that power-type relays or power-type solenoids be used on all added circuits rated at 15 <br />amperes and above. <br />N. All added relays, solenoids, circuit breakers or fuses, switches, lights, and electrical devices will be <br />specifically mounted to protect them from moisture or water contamination and road hazards such as <br />rocks and brush limbs. Certain electrical components, such as safety and limit switches, should be <br />epoxy-impregnated to minimize the effects of contamination and moisture. <br />O. All added operator switches must be identified with professionally engraved labels and lighted as <br />required by law. Any “dyno label maker,” “label maker,” or “computer label” tape type label is not <br />acceptable. <br />P. The use of aftermarket electrical distribution systems that include the appropriately rated circuit <br />breaker(s) ahead of the power relay(s) or switch panel(s) is acceptable. Reference: Wired-Rite <br />products. <br />Q. All electrical connections must have no exposed wires or terminals. <br />R. Any added circuit with dash or “console” mounted switches must include an indicator light that will <br />light in the “on” position. Indicator lights to be dimmable where required by law. <br />S. All wiring or terminals in exposed unprotected areas, outside of any junction box, will use soldered or <br />sealed type connectors, such as pre-molded or heat shrink tubing with internal coated glue or sealer. <br />Electrical tape or “wrap and seal” type tape is unacceptable at any connector. Reference: Phillips <br />Shrink ‘n’ Seal series, Ancor, Grote, or Amp adhesive-lined series. <br />T. Splices are not acceptable except when connecting to an electrical device with a pigtail that was pre- <br />installed by the device OEM as part of that device. The use of appropriate OEM wire for connecting <br />purposes is acceptable. <br />U. All flasher(s) used must work with LED lights. <br />V. All wiring will be color-coded, numbered, or labeled with circuit number or name. <br />W. Ring terminals of the proper stud diameter will be used unless a spade-type connector is specifically <br />required. Using “Hook” or “U” fork-type connectors is unacceptable. Connectors, which are <br />“clamped” onto the wire for installation and penetrate the wire’s covering, are unacceptable. Any <br />“Quick-lok” type, Scotch-Lok® type, “wire-nuts” or unsealed wiring connectors are unacceptable. <br />X. The use of the standard Stellantis Ram chassis in-dash “upfitter” switches is required. Connections <br />and imposed electrical circuit load must be in accordance with Stellantis Ram OEM requirements. <br />Aftermarket switches should also be durability tested to at least 25,000 full load cycles. Reference: <br />Cole-Hersee “Heavy Duty” or “Extra Heavy-Duty” grade level. <br />Y. Connectors of all types must be properly crimped using the connector OEM’s recommended tool. <br />“Insulated” glue or sealer-type connectors will have a flat, oval-shaped, smoothly sculptured <br />appearance with no sharp indentures. “Non-insulated” connectors will be covered with a polyolefin <br />adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing that extends beyond the connector a minimum of twice the <br />diameter of the wire being used. Reference: Aerospace Material Specification AMS-3634; SAE J163, <br />J561, J858a, J928, and J1881. <br />Z. All exterior lights must be shock-mounted or housed in a protective housing. The entire light will pop <br />out and be replaceable.
