Mod Wiring!

I don't have enough room on the terminals to connect the mods im adding. All the harnesses have relays, I don't want to go the Spod route. Suggestions to add these connections?

 

Not sure how much power you need, but if it's small amounts I'd look into fuse taps.

 

All the harnesses have fuses,

This is everything im trying to have connected to the truck

Warn 10k winch
40" led light bar
20" led light bar
ditch lights
rock lights

Switch-pro, I got one and it’s awesome. Dump all the relays and extra wires.

 

So if i grab this i should be good right? Blue sea 5025 panel
Bussman 100amp breaker

Also would i have to cut off fuses/relays w/this setup?

 

The bleaseas is the main piece. The breaker doesn’t serve any purpose other than protectting the wire from the battery to the blue seas panel. This wire is usually very short so not much to protect.

You also need to think about relays. Everything you listed will need relays to power them, as well as your switches in the cab to activate them.

Leave the winch straight to the battery.

This is where i get confused, should i go w/the minibus or the 5025 panel. The winch will be connected directly to the batterie, there are 3 harnesses w relays/ and fuses. Rock lights doesn't have a relay- only a fuse.

 

Blue sea fuse block is the only way to go!

 

Do you happen to have a pic of your install?

 

Blue seas over the mini bus. The blue seas will handle your fuses.

 

Ok, but what about if your fuses are built into the harness?

 

As much as I hate some people that say this, you should take some time and truly learn a bit about 12v wiring and relays and switches. To do this cleanly and properly, you need to have a decent understanding at what all the parts are actually doing and how they interact with each other.

 

I hear this, im taking my truck to the shop monday to have a bumper installed, im gonna have them finish all the wiring, i just need to know which terminal to bring them!

 

My basic understanding is. I'd remove the fuse off the harness, connect it directly to the bussmann and then stick the fuse in the bussmann panel, correct. Bussman obv conects directly to the battery + & -

 

Or i could just leave all the harnesses the way they are and buy the minibus ?

 

The blue seas (when properly hooked up) will make everything look clean and professional, and make adding more accessories very easy.

The mini bus will give you more places to attach ring terminals, and allow you to build a bird nest of wires inside your engine compartment, till something melts or hits a belt and catches on fire.

 

Ok so hooking it up properly: Removing fuses off harness's, leaving relays on, sodering/crimping new connections, adding fuses to blue sea panel, correct?

 

yes
