Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Fuse box gives you the ability to get power from the battery for the accessories that we all love.

 

So I'd still need a relay for each switch?

 

Getting ready to leave the bar in a pre runner in snow!!! Goin home to fire the can am up and do some plowin

 

Depends on the switch and accessory. I believe carling switches (OTRATTW) are rated for 20 amps. So I personally don't have any relays (except for the compressor) since all my stuff is well below 20 amps.

 

Not necessarily like ckeene said but it's a good idea and good insurance.

 

How do mud graps do in snow?

 

CB
fog lights
led bar
rock lights
aux reverse lights
eventually retrofit
compressor
locker switches
winch switches

thats all the extra stuff I can think of. But I'm still kind of confused, I know the switches need power so could I run the switches to the fuse box or to a relay together?

 

Double TITS

 

I have to say they are doing amazing..being 2wd with 3" of snow on the ground. .traction control only kicked in once cuz I hit the skinny pedal a little to hard. .and the imprint in the snow is sick!

 

One of my buddies has them on his cummins they sing commin down the road

 

Here is a decent explanation of relays how even how to hook one up

Granted doesn't take a fuse box into consideration but it wouldn't be hard to put that in

 

1st gen/2nd? Didn't take the time to look. If 2nd pm me.

You could run one power to switches and individual grounds to each relay input, and then common ground all legs of relays. Then each load has +12v to terminal on relay from fuse box, then lead to load and ground on the negative terminal of the load. I'll see if I can scrounge up a schematic.

Like this:



So a blue sea box has 6 or 12 fused circuits. If you run one common power to the switch panel you can have 11 relay controlled loads.
