Step 6Wire and Solder
Wire It
Have a look at the diagram and start soldering wires.
-REMEMBER some wires will need to go through holes so plan ahead! Also Polarity is very important so check and double check.
Speaker wire of the type I am using looks like it has a clear jacket but if you look carefully you will notice one wire jacket has white printed on it. This is to help you identify the 2 wires at both ends. If you want red and white wires you can get some door bell wire from your local hardware store.
Duct Tape
Ok I left it off the materials list but let's face it we're working on a truck here. Do you need to be told to bring your gun to a gun fight? If you didn't expect to have to use Duct Tape at some point I really can't help you.
I put some Duct Tape on the bottom sides of the Solar Cells to insulate them form any potential contact with the metal of the dump bed. I know it is painted but you have to think about the long haul. This truck is "Guaranteed Tonka Tough for LIFE" so I feel obliged to go the extra yardage on this one.
