Nice price on Country Cat

Yes, it’s now $155 less than when I purchased in March. County Cat is refunding me the difference since the new part number is less expensive. Country Cat has been a pleasure to deal with and I do recommend them if you need parts.

Anyone else that would be interested in harnesses I have one ready to ship. If I there are more requests I will have to order more ends and will take about 2 weeks to get them built and shipped.

Tom, would this work on a 22 Viper and or do I need one on a 22 Viper GT?

I thought I read somewhere that the 2022+ Sidewinders had provisions on the factory harness for EPS and that your harnesses aren't needed. Then I re-read this thread and see on post #50 that you state that you are unsure if it is needed for the newer ones. Does anyone know if the harnesses that Mr. Sled builds are needed for a 2023 Sidewinder LTX SE?

If it has it there would be 2 plugs that would be close to the steering post. It might be taped up or zip tied to the main harness. On a side note even if you have my harness it will send power to the unit and tie into the inspection port by the reverse and basically pie pass the main harness.

Right, I just thought I read there for his 2023, he shouldn't need your harnesses since they likely all come from the factory with the same harness regardless of whether or not they have EPS.

I had heard that too. Would be nice to see a picture of someone who has that.

Its there, you can even see it in the wiring diagram. Connector 16 is the EPS power (EPS fuse), and Connector 51 is EPS signal (basically tapped into canbus + taillight power)

I did my 23' a couple months ago. The harness is zip tied to the cross bar from the factory. Both plugs have a blank plugged into them. Just remove the blanks and it plugs right into the motor.

How long did the install take you?

 

[DTJ]

I think it was all of 4 or 5 hours.

I will have 4 more harness kits ready in the next few weeks if anyone is interested.
