Things to Do while the Dash is out

very simple to buy a fuse block. just makes it so much easier to have all accessories on its own box.

you will thank yourself time and time again if you have to mess with wires in the future.

fyi mine is fed straight from the battery

I was thinking of splicing the ignition wire and using it to power a relay to feed all the ignition hot stuff. That way I don't have to worry about taxing the ignition switch.

Know of any good Fuse blocks that have mounting places for a relay? I thought about buying another power distribution box and mounting it somewhere. But I think that is a little more than I need.

I might go buy one and then steal the contacts out of it so I can use some of the spare relay spots in my existing Power box.

junkyard.
i searched around the yard for my Bronco mud truck. found one with 5 or 6 relays. rewired it to what i needed it to do. Powered my headlights, 4 aux lights, efans, had my starter relay in it for my starter. i wired it up that when i put the key into the "start" it killed power to all the other relays, so my lights and everything else shut off. gave max power to the starter.
