My controller wires looks unprotected against high temperature under the hood. Should this come with additional temperature resistant pipe?

No the insulation on the wires is more than enough for under hood temperatures

that depends on the wiring. if your wiring is done very clean and sealed up right.. i.e shrink tubing or electrical tape and you use male and female connectors, you should have no problems. I've wired mine to the specification i just mentioned and have ran them in downpours, hurricane-like, sideways rain, snow, sleet, everything. never had a problem. also the positioning of the relay is essential. that you would want to look for a spot, preferably under the hood that's away from the elements. but as for the horns, I've ran them in the weather like I've said behind the grill and also ran them without my bumper on at all. being constantly exposed and absolutely no issues. that depends on the wiring. if your wiring is done very clean and sealed up right.. i.e shrink tubing or electrical tape and you use male and female connectors, you should have no problems.

No. I was originally going to run the factory shroud around it bit have found it unnecessary and I live in southern Nevada. Temps have been very consistent even when I'm offroad in low range working the engine hard. I don't thonk you'll have to worry about it.

U need to find a spot underneath the hood to put the box and might have to splice(add) some more wiring for more length the yellow wire is the remote wire u do not need it

What I did was drill a hole in the middle of my handle bar above the headlight on the bottom side big enough to install a grommet to protect the wires. run the wires to thru the headlight and tested the heaters to make sure they work. Filled the handle bars with insulation. This worked good for me. It keeps my hands nice and toasty :-) Hope this helps.Nick

The black button has the thermostat inside. Position the black button flat against the pipe and wrap insulation around it as the instructions show. Good luck.

I haven't installed them yet looks like it'll be at least a (few hour) day task tho..running and adding wire..firewall to inside switch or splicing into wires on headlamps. I'll post info when/if I ever do mine in the near future. Let me know if/when you do yours. Good luck

Needs to be covered. Mine's under a porch. By the way, the controller quit working tonight. Had to go to plan B and cook inside. It's common for the control to be replaced, but not this soon. Will order 2 replacements, one for now and one for a spare.

From what I have experienced the top wire connector underneath at the top are not very good I believe the bottom is for the pilot ignighter so it is not as critical, the top is the sensor which is very critical and wants to shut the unit down due to loss of voltage I haven't taken mine apart yet to fix them so for now I just push the wire on as i release the pilot button.

Yes, although I was replacing an existing failed controller so all my conduit and wiring were already in place. It was simple to replace the old unit. I have had no issues for 6 months.

I installed in the engine bay near the battery to keep it dry.... all wiring should be kept away from the exhaust

Hi, I only received the control box with controller inside and a set of instructions. I had to use my existing sensors... No valves or wire

Mine partially melted as well, but was still useable. I looked for the replacement wire, and could not find. Just had to work with what was left, and some electrical tape.

oOn my Toyota the heated sensor is the rear one. Heated sesors have 4 wires, others have 2. Lee

I wouldn't recommend trying to mount this under the hood. I've noticed that they are particularly sensitive to water, and I'm about to buy my third because they keep dying on me due to water exposure.

i think this might help, same issue for me (http://blog.pennybuying.com/down/f/F815A.pdf). Now my issue is finding the 4 wire headers that I can connect from the PIC to the controller board, if you know where i can find those, please return favor. thanks
