Avionics wiring continued...
Spent all Saturday afternoon/evening wiring. I pretty much finished all the wiring of the 155/89b/209A with each other and ran the audio wires up to the audio panel.
Sunday... I was pretty ineffectual today.. low energy.. did a lot of wheel spinning. I did make the cutout in the sub-panel for the radio racks to fit through. I put the panel in place.. immediatly had an issue with the BNC connector on the back of the transponder. Since I flush mounted it, it extends back to where the bnc connector is almost touching the sub-panel.. and it just so happens the is nearly falls in line with the rib that runs from the sub-panel to the firewall.. an 1" more outboard and it would have been OK. I think I just barely have enough room to get a cable connected with some minor modification to the sub-panel.
I wanted to try and turn on something... so I made up a antenna cable for the 89B and hooked up the GPS antenna. I put the fast-on tabs to all the power and ground connections for everything. I tried to get the GPS turned on but it wouldn't come on. I double-checked all the connections (missed a ground wire) but still couldn't get it to power up. I don't know what the hec is going on.
I was certainly enjoying the wiring but now I'm kinda burned out on it and frustrated that the GPS didn't come on.
