Frequently Asked Questions

It is a universal electrical wire intended for general 12V powersports use, not a model‑specific harness. Gauge, color, and length for 16‑673 should be verified from a current catalog to ensure it suits your application.

Yes, in most cases, as long as the wire gauge is adequate for the current draw of the lights. Check the amp draw of the lights and confirm that the gauge listed for 16‑673 is sufficient according to standard ampacity charts.

It is standard primary wire with automotive‑grade insulation, commonly used in those areas. Avoid direct contact with exhaust components or sharp edges, and use loom or protective sleeving in high‑heat or abrasion‑prone zones.

Generally no, unless the specific gauge for 16‑673 is large enough for the starter/battery current. High‑current leads usually require much heavier cable than standard primary wire.

Standard Shindy primary wiring is typically plain stranded copper, not marine‑grade tinned copper. For marine or very high‑corrosion environments, a dedicated marine‑grade wire is recommended.

Installation Guide

Difficulty Easy
Est. Time 15 min

Tools Required

  • Wire cutters/strippers sized for the wire gauge
  • Crimping tool for insulated and/or non-insulated terminals
  • Heat gun or lighter (if using heat-shrink tubing)
  • Soldering iron and solder (if solder joints are preferred)
  • Multimeter or test light (for continuity and voltage checks)
  • Electrical tape or heat‑shrink tubing
  • Zip ties or wiring clips for harness routing

Pro Tips

  • Match or exceed the OEM wire gauge for any repair or extension, especially on lighting or ignition circuits.
  • Use color‑coding consistently and, if possible, match OEM harness colors to make future diagnostics easier.
  • Slide heat‑shrink tubing over the wire before crimping/soldering, then shrink it to seal the joint.
  • Route new wiring along existing harness paths and secure it every few inches with zip ties.
  • After installation, wiggle‑test the harness with the system powered to catch intermittent connections before reassembling bodywork.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using the wrong gauge wire for the circuit’s current draw (too small can overheat).
  • Leaving connections unprotected from moisture, causing corrosion and intermittent faults.
  • Routing wire too close to exhaust components or sharp edges without protective loom.
  • Poor crimps or “twist and tape” connections instead of proper crimp or solder + insulation.
  • Not disconnecting the battery before working on the electrical system.

Comparison vs Stock/OEM

This is generic primary wire rather than an OEM‑formed harness. It does not replicate connectors or exact routing but provides color‑coded wire for repairs and custom circuits.

Improvements

  • Enables targeted repairs instead of replacing a complete OEM harness.
  • Color‑coded wire simplifies tracing and future diagnostics compared to plain or mismatched wire.
  • Allows custom lengths and routing for accessories not supported by OEM harnesses.

Considerations

  • Does not include OEM connectors, sheathing, or junction blocks; those must be sourced separately.
  • Mis‑matching gauge or color relative to OEM harness can complicate troubleshooting if not documented.
  • Quality and temperature rating should be confirmed to ensure it matches or exceeds OEM specifications for critical circuits.

Durability & Warranty

Expected Lifespan When correctly sized, routed, and protected, primary wire typically lasts the life of the vehicle in normal street or off‑road use.
Warranty Standard Shindy electrical components usually carry a limited manufacturer warranty; exact terms for 16‑673 should be verified with the distributor.
Maintenance Periodically inspect harness sections in high‑movement or high‑heat areas for chafing, discoloration, or hardened insulation; repair and resecure as needed.
