Point being is that the 12 slot is great because you never know what you will be adding in the future and the 6 at least for me wouldn't have been enough everything. I was only able to run 2 lights off each circuit because the 4 on the bumper and 4 on the roof would put me over the limit to have 4 on each circuit.

Slots get full really quick when you start wiring up lights. It can add up really quick when I typically run a pair of fogs (100Watt each), driving lights (My 06 had 4x100W on the bumper and 4x100w on roof), rock lights (My 88 was running 6 harbor freight utility lights at 55w each), along with CB, Ham, etc. I'm running an inline 90AMP circuit breaker to keep from overloading the block. Just in case it isn't clear, this fuse block is rated at 30amps per circuit but only 100amps total for the block. Keep in mind I have an inline circuit breaker, and inline fuses I need space for as well. I have it mounted in my 06 and just pulled it from my 88 before I sold it to put it in my 97.Īny idea of where to mount it in the already cluttered 3rd gen engine bay? If you're not sure of the wire gauge needed, there are calculators out there.I was just looking at this one yesterday, I think I'll be buying it.Ī: Blue Sea Systems 5026 ST Blade Fuse Block with Cover: Sports & Outdoors You just need to run the + and - wires from the device straight to the fuseblock. Connecting the fridge or radio is even easier. You can then use the diagram for other lighting, or switched power needs. Just make temporary connections with a little wire on the terminals and see how it all connects. It seems confusing at first, but you can make all of this work before routing and mounting everything on the vehicle. When the relay switch completes the main circuit, it sends the real power to the lamp (pin 87 and 85). If the light isn't working, and there's no click sound, you have a bad relay. That is the clicking you hear when you power something on. directly to your customer on your behalf. This is a small current that just needs to energize the switch in the Hella Fused Relay. Let The Seller Helper dropship MEGA or AMG Fuse Safety Block Ignition protected for installation aboard gasoline or diesel powered boats Sealed cover protects fuses from the harsh marine e. When the C/C switch is pressed, it in turn passes current through pin 4 to pin 86 on the relay (green wire). The faceplates are removable so you can pick a different one that better represents what the light does (some of them may need to be flipped). For the Land Rover D2, the only switch that acts the way you want is the cruise control switch. You'll need to figure the pin outs for what ever switch you use, but the Hella can be followed from the diagram. The four numbers around the Fused Relay and C/C Switch diagram are marked on the relays. The light was originally a dual 55W halogen, so it was wired for lots of juice. Here's the first wiring diagram I made for the rear work light. Since this pic was taken, the ARB fridge and HAM radio have been added to the block, for a total of 7 circuits. In the cabin they are split to power each LED in the binnacle switches (rear work, inner and outer roof rack lights). Now there's one main wire just for those LEDs out of the fuse box. The original wiring in the first pic had a positive lead for each LED in the binnacle switches, they were slowly added over the years. The open space is for an LED light bar that is sitting on my shelf. The relays are from Hella and they are secured with self tappers. You can see the thick main positive and negative wires from the MEGA fuse going into the box. Here is my Blue Sea 12 block fuse box setup.

My buddy made the bracket to hold the fuse block and relays. It's kinda hard to see, but the bolts for the holder are just above the battery.

Ok, I didn't want to derail the dual battery thread so I figured I'd make a new post here.Īll of this was connected to my main battery!Ī 150A MEGA fuse is bolted in front of the red bottle jack.
