Re: Inverter/charger replacement

I replaced my inverter with the xantrex Xc 2000 as it was lithium friendly. With a new inside control it cost about $800
There is website batteryhookup.com that is selling renogy 2000 watt inverters for $499. 10% off with code diy.
And yes 1500 watt heater on one circuit is a bit much.

Re: No start with key

By looking at the key. It appears my 96 safari is a Chevrolet key. A well stocked parts house should be able to get one. Take your old one in. You should also use test light to verify start signal is not passing through switch. If it is then check harness under dash. There is large connector that I ...

Re: Converting Exterior running lites to LED

I have converted all my exterior and interior lights to led. The 194 bulbs for clearance were whiter and brighter I had to replace the lens as well.
