Wiring help
 

I'm putting in that keyless entry system, where i'm putting the box for the system doesn't let the wiring harness reach. I was going to get some wire, but the wire has some sort of metric measurements. I don't know much about the guage numbers, but on the wires have 0.5mm^2 (millimeters squared) and one the hot wire it has 0.75mm^2. How can I figure out what this is in a guage measurement. Also, if I have to use a bigger wire than what comes with the kit will that hurt anything?

I don't see anything at all wrong with running bigger wire. You should have no problems at all with doing that. As far as the wire sizing, go here:

I agree with 68 stepside with larger wires you can not go wrong just dont go smaller.

Agreed, anthough, you could go too big and increase the resistance.
Just buy some thicker whire, as long as it isn't a huge battery cable or something...you'll be ok.

A great tool for me as I need to go the other way. All my truck manuals have wire sizes in AWG and living in the UK means that I have to buy wires in metric... blooming marvelous!
