Welding on truck - precautions for electronics

[BrandoWilson]

I want to do some welding on the truck (specifically welding some mount points into the box). I assumed just unhook the batteries and you'd be good. Looked on the web in general and it say sure, no problem. EXCEPT as everything on the web it has a caveat - "if you have sensitive modules you should remove them first". For fsck's sake - so that means every vehicle after '96 has to remove all control modules. I suspect it's hyper over-caution there as is so common with our sadly overly litigious world.

You will better do a course.

Just batteries are fine. Do you want to do it by yourself? Very brave! I also was in such a situation, but I was afraid to start by myself without a course. Haven't you thought about going to a class or, in general, reading more about welding? For example is a site where you will learn about types of welding, welding certificates, job prospects, and schools that offer training in this profession in Florida. You will find more info (https://ratemywelder.com/welding-schools-in-florida/) on their website. I decided and went to this school. You can't imagine how much helpful information I found out. Now I have a diploma, and any problem I have can be solved with maximum safety.
