Those wires are from the old harness and not used anymore. Instructions makes you fold them back and tie wrap them. I took them out off the tunnel and removed the pins from the WH-RV12-TUNNEL harness (pin 17,18,19,36 (red ellipse in picture)). Attached the text from the manual and a snapshot from AutocadWS.


42D-21 step 5 : Extract the remaining wires from the ES-205203-3 9-Pin D-Sub. These wires will no longer be used or connected at the AV-50000A RV-12 Control Module. Fold the wires back and tie-wrap them to the wire run along the F-1208 Bulkhead.

I used those wires for the rear bulkhead mounted ADSB module after confirming that the wire size was sufficient for ADSB operation. Wire it up. If you need any pinouts send me an email.

So many thanks to all who took the time and interest to solve my problem. What a relief.

You were smart, Larry - those four wires would be perfect.

I haven't decided if I'll do that ADSB or not, but if I do, think I'll use a different design, not needing them to go back there. (That's my rationalization....)

With the need for the ADSB antenna to be separated some distance from the transponder antenna, the choice seemed to be to run four wires back to a box in the rear, or put it up front and run that big ol antenna wire thru the tunnel to the rear. In my case, putting it in the rear was a good choice for me.

OK, I am a bit slow, but still do not understand this step. The instructions have us put the L456 and L468 out to pin 6 on each side. But when we look over at the figures, pin 6 has a B268 on each pin 6. What am I missing here?

I had to puzzle over that also. Page 42D-23 Step 3 paragraph 2 covers it - kind of. The text description is off, Stein did not totally follow the color scheme mentioned. The long white wire is marked L458 though as mentioned in that paragraph.

These two wires (one wire from the panel that then splits) are powering the NAV lights on pin 6 of the new connectors. The previous wire you ran earlier in the build used to power both nav and strobe together. The skyview mod splits these functions so a new wire is needed. The original wire only now powers the strobes (and is connected to the noise filter.)

We are trying to keep all of the skyview q/a in this thread to make it easy on folks.

The original plans and the harness you were originally provided had one wire that came from the panel and split to each wing root. It came from a single switch that was either OFF or TURN-ON-STROBES-AND-NAV-TOGETHER. At each old wing connector that single wire then went out to the wingtip where it was split to both the separate NAV and STROBE wires provided on the tip light.

The new panel that comes with skyview separates these functions into OFF-NAVONLY-NAV&STROBE. So there is one NEW wire coming to the wing connector, for the NAVONLY function. The old original wire is being connected just to the strobe. Then there are TWO new wires that run from the wing root to the tip light. One is the separate NAV power (continuing the new wire) and the other is the SYNCH line.

Note that you can tell which is which because the STROBE line is the one that should be connected to the noise filter, not the new NAV power.

The SYNCH line was unused in the original kit. It just connects straight across - wing root to wing root, then out to each tip light, not up to the panel. Keeps the strobes synched.

Hope this helps!

Don, I puzzled over what to do with the L456 and L468 wires as well. They seemed to have no home to go to as the new wing connectors already appeared to have their full complement of wires. After looking at the wiring diagram, I decided they must be redundant because of the SV conversion wiring, so I just coiled them up, heat shrank the ends and tie-wrapped them out of the way .... just in case.

Well **** guys, I was only partially confused when I asked the question. Now I am totally confused!
(And still don't know what to do with those wires.)
