Have fun! It was a great memory for us. I’m sure you will have a wonderful day tomorrow. Good luck.

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Glad it was helpful!

I connected my red wire to a fuse that was called headlight alignment. In my case it was fuse 37 but I expect it could be different on a Chevy traverse. You want to check for fuse that is tied to the ignition so It only comes on when the car turns on.

@@4WardJourney I also have the same car as you, found fuse 37, but how do i put a tap in kit to that tiny fuse? It's a 10amp fuse, but the tap kit prongs are too big to fit in that fuse hole... waiting on your reply, thanks!

Thanks for watching!

No problem!

Thanks for watching - my seat is from Corbin - it is the “young guns” model - here is their link www.corbin.com/kawasaki/kv17vaqg.shtml

Glad you enjoyed the video - good luck. Hopefully, you’ll be able to remedy it and your Solis will be back in charging action!

Thanks - yes I really like the added visibility the helmet light gives me

Sounds like you got a great deal! Enjoy your Bolt!

@4WardJourney good to know, thanks! 😀

Thanks for watching - hope you enjoy the hood lights. I used a fuse tap to connect to the fuse box - so the wires connect to the fuse tap device

Thanks for watching - I haven’t worried about sound so far - I just use the visual - but I do believe it has audio out - and if you bike has blue tooth - your phone can connect to the audio that way

Yes, I did have similar problems. The fridge was intermittently working, but I found the solution was to add extra ventilation I’ve got a video coming out soon. I’ll show how I tackled the project.

Great !! Looking forward to it . Thank you for your reply

I’m sure you could install both I think just choosing one or the other would look better

@@4WardJourney thanks 😊

@@4WardJourney when i attach it to the negative battery and the radio with the tap the light is staying on...does the fuse I take out go on the bottom or top of the tap or what am I doing wrong?

I used fuse number 37 as that relates to power that only goes on when the car is turned on and goes off off when the car is turned off - if you’re using fuse other than that, it might be a fuse that is powered independent of whether or not the ignition is on

@@daleward5483 is 37 standard for most vehicles the vehicle in question is a Toyota Camry. Thanks for all of your assistance.

Yes, sorry I had meant to include those in the comments. Here are the links. Hope these work for you: www.amazon.com/Nilight-50039R-Circuit-Standard-Warranty/dp/B07TG1ZGD3 www.amazon.com/HConce-Dynamic-Exterior-Flexible-Daytime/dp/B0BV9C3QSM

Thanks - good information - how do you protect the phone from weather while on quadlock?

Thanks for watching - good question! The fuse I used comes on when the car is on so the lights are on both daytime and nighttime. If you use a different fuse to tap into, you could have the light bar only come on when the headlights are on.

Sounds good to be on day and night. #37. Thanks!!! Mine is on order, along with the fuse tap.

Great I bet you’ll enjoy it!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for watching! No I’ve haven’t experienced that specifically- I have had a problem where the 12 volt adapter I had in the accessory plug (cigarette lighter adapter) was flakey and it would reboot the device - but a new 12 volt adapter solved it.

@4WardJourney Do you have it connected directly to 12V? Because I connected it to the motorcycles usb outlet, which is 5v. And together with the device comes the cable to connect directly to the battery and a converter from 12v-24v to 5v.

@@4WardJourney oh, thank you very much for answering me! 😊 😊😊🇧🇷

Thanks for watching - I’m not sure of the regulations in CA so you’d have to check with local authorities. It doesn’t make too bright a light and there are other vehicles with full light bars from the factory.

We just did this to my son’s car and it’s dead now. It’s not the 12v either. We had it towed to Chevy. We’ll find out in a few days what’s wrong with it. Maybe a fuse issue. Which fuse slot did you use?

Yes, we have had leaks at that fan during very heavy rains. I have tried to put extra sealant, dicor, on the roof, and it has helped, but not totally solved it. I really like the fantastic fan but it is annoying that there is an occasional leak there.

@4WardJourney I've done same ,even had a professional rv center adress it ,, still get leaks from time to time

I just did another job of putting on some sealant around the fan - I found a joint about a quarter of an inch up on the actual fan housing and I wondered if water might be getting up there because the seal between the fan and the Van roof looks OK - so I’ve put sealant now around that seam on the actual fan itself- hope it helps. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Do you mean the Ford wire that connects for the seatbelt warning? - I assume that could be an option.

@@4WardJourney oh I thought it's was for when the seat was turned around ,

Great - I’m sure you’ll like it! Isn’t the Bolt great!

Thanks for watching - yes it is double sided tape

Thanks for watching! I’m not sure if the fuse boxes are exactly the same for the EV and EUV but would think they likely are very similar.

@@4WardJourney Can I ask why you put a 20A fuse in the fuse tap instead of another 10A, like the one you took out?

Thanks for the question - the fuse tap provides two fuse inputs - I put the original 10amp one back in the position for the original component and used the 20 amp for the new LED lights as that was the closest one I had that size

Thanks!!

Good question - I thought the light would be more visible if the LED was on the hood as opposed to the grill - but it may be similar with either mount position

@@4WardJourney 1 more question - what fuse # did you tap?

I used fuse 37 - it says it’s related to the headlights alignment

Thanks - yes it dresses it up a bit!

Thanks for watching - I i’m not sure about the configuration you’re running as I don’t have earbuds that I’m using with my set up I would suggest trying to pair the earbuds directly to the phone and not the CarPlay device

Thanks, will do!

I added an Fi 2000 adapter for the fuel injection - here is an old video of the pipes upgrade - it was one of my first TH-cam efforts so don’t laugh too much! th-cam.com/video/JYe0gZUbeEw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tXoXyqBK7LQlRqXg

Good point - that would certainly be the plan if I was to switch to lithium, I would need to get a B2B charger.

Thanks for watching - I think the road would be okay for a Class A motorhome. Some twists and turns but not anything you couldn’t handle.

Thanks for the feedback - yes Lithium would be a nice upgrade down the road.

Thanks for watching the video - yes for the charging network and for fast charging Tesla is a great choice.

Hello! Thanks for watching - and sharing your Bolt EUV story. Yes, as a commuter car the Bolt makes so much sense. I would agree with you that the slower fast charging rate may bring benefits in the long term in overall battery life. Have a great day in beautiful BC!

Very cool!

Hi - yes in terms of driving - the electric cars do not produce green house gases themselves. As mentioned in the video, there can be greenhouse gases produced by the underlying source of the electricity production for example coal, however, even if the electricity is produce by fossil fuel - the net result of using an electric car is less greenhouse gas than an internal combustion engine car.

So coal emits no green house gases

I was wondering the same thing!

Glad you enjoyed the video. I think from the time we got off the mountain bikes till we reach the top was probably four hours.

Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it. We are having fun driving the Bolt and are happy to share the experience.

Same

Welcome. Glad you ended up here!

Glad you like the video. Yes, good approach to limiting the use of the heater - It does impact range.

Good question - yes I think the “fuel” cost of an electric car on a road trip, where you are charging at public DC fast chargers, is probably a wash with a high efficiency gas car. Where the savings come in are on those more frequent days when you can charge at home for a lower cost. The other longer term savings comes from the lower cost of maintaining an EV compared to an internal combustion engine. Also there is the environmental benefits of reducing greenhouse gases.

Thanks for watching - yes I’m thankful for all the work that went into creating that trail along the gorge so that we can all enjoy it!

Coming soon! Just need to let the snow melt a bit!

Thanks Diana! Looking forward to making a video of a river cruise someday!!

Good point - they say they are going to continue the Bolt on their new EV platform - hopefully that’s the case

It was only fairly recently that the 2025 Bolt was announced. Seems like a smart move, given how much people seem to like the 2023 model.

Yes, mounting it in the center of the bars could work well. My radio controls are behind the center so for me, it works better up to the right.

@@4WardJourney can you play music from the CarPlay device to the motorcycle speaker system?

@rayray3866 I don’t think so - I gave the iPod adapter from Kawasaki and I use an old iPod for music on the bike
