If you don't pay much attention to new cars (and who cares about a Coke can on wheels?) you might not know that the wiring we have all come to know in our older Jeep vehicles is gone. That's not to say it just disappeared one day, but vehicle wiring as you and I both know it is going the way of carburetors, gravity-fed fuel systems, and hit-and-miss engines (those things are cool!). The only thing that is ever going to be constant is change. Well, except for those new pennies that non-God-fearing people designed. Oh wait, I'm talking about different change.inline_mediumwraptextrightThis is the brain of the system. All switches go to this mastercell and it then sends requests to the power cells downstream. The mastercell is programmable by computer or by face-mounted, push-button momentary switches. If that ain't enough, it is also waterproof to one meter. That means that you can sink your Jeep in water about up to your neck and this system will still work. Try that with a regular wiring harness.31210176/techarticles/electrical/154_0911_november_2009_randys_electrical_corner154_0911_01+working_the_controller_area_network_bus+brain.jpgTrue
