Bussmann and mount

ok so I picked this guy up on eBay for 130 bucks shipped plus I think it was 25 for the holder from a guy in the isn't gen section.
So far the quality has been exceptional. I'll post more pics and links as required. Not trying to step on toes if guys making them but can't beat the price on this pre wired unit.

 

I bought the same thing, couldn't beat the price. I upgraded the power and ground cables though.

Wasn't a fan of the ground cable setup. They took all the ground wires and twisted them together and then twisted that to the 10 or 12 awg wire.

 

Yeah I seen that. My biggest complaint is they didn't run a hot wire with the switch wires so I'll add that too.

 

well, you have that plate upside down, but not sure that will work with the 2nd gen. I am making one for my 2ng gen this weekend to test out a new deigns for 2nd gens.
i also just got the same box, but what do you mean they didnt run a hot wire switches? I havent really dug into it yet.

 

I didn't see a hot wire. They only had 5 wires for the 5 switches. And I flipped it like that and am just gonna drill a hole to mount it up. Not everything needs to be plug and play lol
Correct me if I'm wrong but the wires to the switches should be in the downstream side and you should have a hot wire to one side of the switch that you going to and just piggy back that to all other switches.
And the wires tuning to the bussmann simply send the signal back when the switch is closed and energize the coil on the relay

 

I guess it would depend on how you want them wired. if you want to be able to turn them on even with the truck off, then yes, but if you only want them to turn on with the truck on then you need to get that hot from a acc hot (which is what i plan on doing)
So i normally only run the relay trigger wires into the cab and find a acc hot, dash ligh and ground inside the cab.

 

It's been so long I forgot how I wired mine. If I recall correctly I actually ran one of the fused/nonrelay wires through with the 5relay wires to my switch panel. And that way I could use my accessories without ignition if I wanted.

So it left me with one less accessory slot but I didn't plan on using all 5 anyway, and at that time I only had 2 sets of lights using up 2 of the relays.
