Show off your aux fuse panels.

Ordering up a Blue Sea auxiliary fuse block and breaker this week !

 

If you like DIY stuff, you can do what I did: 6-channel wireless controller. Works great for auxiliary lighting. I like being able to turn lights on/off when I'm not in the cab. The relays are 10 amp, so you're limited in that respect. However, you could still use it to trigger higher amperage relays.

I don't have a detailed thread, but I'd be happy to share what I did.

NOTE: I am a novice at electrical work. if you are nervous about doing any of this, shoot me a PM and ill help you out. I have an in depth wiring map I can send you that makes all as easy as building legos.

 

@TheDrMaSuess - Thanks brother. It's been a fun ongoing project.

 

I'll admit it. This is my main fuse panel. If you look closely you'll see @916TacoTruck

 

In progress....

 

Simple resistive loads will draw less current at 12V than at 13.6V. Output current regulated devices such as power inverters or led boost regulators will draw more current as the input voltage drops. Wires need to be sized sufficiently greater than the maximum current the device can draw so there's headroom to fit the fuse value safely in between. You don't want to be constantly replacing 10A fuses for a 10A load nor risking an engine bay fire by using 10A rated wire for that 10A load.

 

looks good. who made your plate?

Would you want to make me a set? How much?

 

More progress. Mocked up and loosely bolted down. Paint it black or leave it raw aluminum?

 

What color is the engine bay?

 

Silver. Should have this mounted sometime next week.

 

I guess you could go either way then.

 

Heres my setup. Looks like a lot of wires, but thats because theres a lot going on.. northstar 31M battery, 100w renogy solar panel on top of the shell, Blue solar MPPT charge controller, 1000w pure sine inverter, and blue sea 12 circuit fuse block all routed to this central circuit board. Dual battery is mounted on a custom built receiver hitch battery box

 

Slowly making progress on my fuse block. My friend has been helping me out. I couldn't do it without him!

 

OK, so what are you showing us here?

 

Looks like a homemade fuse panel made from lexan and heatgun.

 

Did someone have a setup for sale in here?

 

Don't really have the time or want to make one so just want to buy something. Looking for an alternative to a Spod or switch pro etc. Saw the Apollointech one on Amazon and was considering that for the price (https://www.amazon.com/Apollointech...ead-6-Switch/dp/B01CDTW03K/ref=cm_wl_huc_item ) or Rough country has one for 200 bucks as well. (http://www.roughcountry.com/mlc6-multiple-light-controller-70962.html ) So mainly looking for any feed back on the 2 or if anyone on here makes a similar setup for close to the price.

I can make my own bracket but just want something with switches that are wired and all I need to do is hook up to the battery and hook my lights, etc. to it.
