How to install a CB

Help! I don’t know what I’m doing!


I know that the cable in my hand allows me to connect the speakers to the CB.

I’ve also got the antenna wire figured out.


bur how do I connect the power wires into that mess!?

 

Update, I think I found a dedicated power line already installed, but I can’t get ahold of it. My cb is also too big for the small hole, so now I have to figure out how to remove the large one

 

I’m feeling around blind has anyone I staled on a peterbilt before?

 

That panel in your the picture in your last post with the CB opening and the indentation next to the CB opening on the left should be held on with static clips. When you look at it it should end not far from the right of CB opening then to the left of the other indentation.

Pop it off then you can get better access to what is behind it. I only run a daycab so the behind the scenes may be different but on mine once that panel is off you can remove 4 screws that allow the tray the CB sits on to slide out, making it much easier to do things. It will be easy to see which screws I am talking about once the front panel is off.

 

Let’s pretend I’m an idiot...are we there lol

how do I remove static clips lol

 

Gentry pry out on the panel, probably need a small screwdriver, it will then start to pop off. Basically, the inside of the panel has sort of finger type protrusions sticking out of it that snap into slots in the panel it attaches to. Sorry, I can't explain things well.

 

Don’t be sorry you’re explaining is fine, I just want to make sure I understand properly before I jam stuff in holes


There’s a life lesson there people

 

Ok evidently the geniuses who designed this thing thinks I can get my hand with a...screwdriver? In there lol

 

The real lesson in patience with electronics

 

Oh...evidently I get the idea now lol

ps what is that black box
