Fuse Panel Help...
Guys,
I wanted to add another fuse panel out under the hood for all the wires I have, mainly the WB02, heated O2, and future goodies.
Could someone explain to me what I will need to do this the *right* way.
Thanks. I am an idiot when it comes to electric stuff.

Ski,
Go down to a quality parts store(CARQUEST,NAPA,etc.) and get a "marine" fuse panel. They come in many sizes, and both styles of fuses. These are the best to use becauese they are designed to be exposed to the elaments(weather, moisture, etc.). They come marked and normally with small instructions. All you have to do is find the place you want to mount it, feed it with a supply line(min of 10ga) wire all your accessories through it, install correct fuses, and you are done. :cool: Hope this helps. :cheers:

If you can't find a good marine fuse panel at a parts store, go to a specialty electronics store. They will definetely have them. Tell them what kind of accessories and current draw you will be running and they should be able to help you out with the selection of specific components. Good luck. :cheers:

How do you wire it so that it will only receive power when the key is turned? Through a relay. That is what I am unsure of.
Thanks.
Thanks.
