On 24 V trucks the M186 needs a 24 V to 12 V converter, charged separately. If we find chewed wiring while we're in there, we'll show you and quote the repair before doing any work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lockdown Security","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67839591972900,"sku":"RODENT1-Install","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/6191\/files\/RODENT1-INSTALL.png?v=1792768343","url":"https:\/\/www.lockdownsecuritycanada.ca\/products\/rodent1-install","provider":"Lockdown Security","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
