repaired 05 explorer console power wiring !!!!

I constantly had problems with half the console losing power, and this was due to their poor jumper design . I removed it and replaced it with 12 gauge wire with solder taps . No more issue !!

Nice work - should last a long time

I did the same thing to mine a couple years ago...  I went about it a little differently but the same idea.  I haven't had any voltage issues since. Make sure you replace the big blue plug if your boat has one.

looks great, I'm lucky no big blue plug just a crappy female connector that I  cut off and soldered it direct
