As an Executive Decision made by the Harness Connection, we will be stopping selling and production effective friday. Any orders in process or claims will be processed and shipped out. We will still support our products even through our absence. Currently the time is just not there to run a full time business on the side. Thanks guys.

I think the decision is set for now bud, truthfully trying to juggle too many things let quality slip, and thats one of the ideals I hold closest to the vision of the company. If the quality isnt there, then we arnt doing our job and need to reevaluate the company.

I understand Sir , quality should be held to the highest standards ;however, having a member here that installs and uses the same type equipment on his own truck is invaluable !

The forum members here are so fortunate to having a fellow member with the proper skill set , passion and knowledge of the required equipment to make mods work electrically with the can bus systems and the even more complex systems to come in the future is more so invaluable! !
Please reconsider. ..

When work settles down ill probably take a week off and do a couple batches of harnesses, as it is now its somewhat of a made to order basis as I just dont have the time to sit down and make 10 in a row etc.

I believe the single zones are in the Bighorns, CC and the SLT etc, the higher trim levels are dual zone. The problem is that so many people are doing this conversion the single zones which are less prevalent to begin with are being gobbled up.

The reason I mention this is obvious, if the boneyard list the vin or the trim level of the truck you can have a good idea what it is.

Personally I had both a single and a dual, both are pristine, I used the single but if I only had the dual I would have just used it. I tried the dual zone and it looked and worked just fine. But since I had the single I stuck with that.

Just putting it out there if anyone gets a dual cheap it works just fine. What I find funny is the dual is a more expensive item, but since few folks want them, they can be had cheaper in the used market.

The dual zone looks cool and they do seem to be a little cheaper and as stated they will work fine. My problem is I hate having buttons for passenger temp control and auto on ect.... that don't work. It would drive me nuts everytime a passenger tryed to adjust there settings. Everything on the single zone works as it would if it came in the truck. I think it's a much cleaner install.
