I build and repair automotive electrical systems in Loveland, Colorado, to NASA high-reliability workmanship standards.
At Current Circuit Auto, quality is the foundation of every electrical system I build.
I don't cut corners: not in the parts I use, not in the way they are installed.
I use top-quality, professional-grade wiring, connectors, terminals, protection, shielding, and electrical components, selected specifically for each application. I believe the right materials and proper workmanship go hand in hand when building an electrical system that is reliable, durable, serviceable, and built to last.
If a job requires more time, better components, or more attention to detail to do it correctly, that's what the job requires.
My wiring workmanship is guided by the principles found in NASA-STD-8739.4A, a NASA workmanship standard developed to establish reliable practices for the assembly of interconnecting cables, wire harnesses, wiring, connectors, crimped and soldered connections, splices, inspection, and testing.
I apply these high-reliability workmanship principles to automotive projects, with attention to:
Proper wire selection and preparation
Quality terminals and connectors
Proper crimping and tooling
Quality soldered connections where appropriate
Heat-shrink and connection protection
Strain relief
Harness construction
Clean and secure wire routing
Abrasion and environmental protection
Circuit identification
Inspection and testing
Make it work and build it correctly
A wiring system shouldn't simply be stuffed wherever there is room.
I carefully consider where wiring runs, how it is secured, what it runs alongside, and how it will be protected. Power circuits, sensitive signal wiring, ignition systems, lighting, and other electrical systems can interact with one another when improperly routed.
Good routing isn't just about making an installation look clean.
It's about making the electrical system work properly.
I also consider future access when routing and securing wiring. Components and connections should be positioned so they can be identified, inspected, serviced, and worked on when necessary.
I take the time to thoughtfully group relays, fuses, and power distribution components for accessibility, serviceability, logical circuit organization, and a clean finished appearance.
Power distribution should be organized rather than scattered throughout the vehicle. Where practical, related circuits and components are grouped together so the system is easier to understand and maintain.
A well-organized electrical system should function properly and look like it was designed that way.

AUDIO REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION
A high-quality audio installation requires more than simply connecting an amplifier, speakers, and power.
Power wiring, signal wiring, grounding, shielding, and routing all play a role in the performance of an audio system.
Where appropriate, I use shielded wiring and carefully planned routing and separation of power and signal paths to help minimize unwanted electrical interference, noise, and signal contamination.
