Switched + Constant Fuse Block | 1st Gen Cummins

- Today I show you how to add in an auxiliary fuse block that has both switched and constant power banks into Ol' Blue. I wired in a circuit breaker and put the factory positives on a bus bar on the inner fender wall. *NOTE THAT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER SIZE I SHOW IN THE VIDEO IS UNDERSIZED IF YOU WIRE THE GRID HEATERS TO THE POSITIVE BUS BAR* It's either a good idea just to wire the grid heaters direct to the battery because they draw about 200 amps or get a larger sized breaker. I'm going to install a 150amp breaker and see how it holds up. The 80 amp breaker has already tripped on me a couple of times and is undersized.
Stay tuned for more videos!
Tyler,

Blue Seas customer service is second to none as well as their quality.
I did marine grade for all of my primary wires and battery cables. Great choice!
I love this idea, we will definitely be doing this to our Ram.
Great Video!! Very Informative, Tyler!!
Very detailed tutorial. But I have one question, I know this setup is overkill for what I’m trying to do but can I run my power seats off the constant side?
Another well done tutorial. I have 1 tip for you. Which I'm pretty sure you already know. (I know the relay leads are short, as you mentioned.) BUT if it rains or gets wet from washing and cleaning those relays will fill with water. As you know it will come in and down btwn the fender n hood. Don't leave them that way long. Just a tip form a friend. Or it'll be a headache. Otherwise real nice clean, tidy professional install. "As always" We expect no less from you. 👍
What was the reason for that fuze link that you put in under your dash?
I kind of did something similar but I used a MAXI fuse block to eliminate all the fuse link wiring. It is in an old video probably 4-5 years ago.
One Question, are you sure that pink wire from the battery terminal goes to the flashers? if you disconnect it will your pickup still start or does it have a dead key? I think the pink goes from the battery to that connector and then via a brown wire to the starter solenoid. I have a 1991 pre 1991.5 and mine goes to the starter. the flasher/hazard seem to come off the main fuse block. I will have to dig the wiring diagram out. Great install on the buss bar and fuse block. I looks like a fairly easy clean up of that wire mess that is first gen. really enjoy your videos as you do pretty much everything top notch. Thanks
Very good video. Nice and pretty install. I'm going to copy.
You did a great job explaining everything but I'm still too stupid to figure it out
Looks really clean 👍how did you manage to get clearance from your hood hinge when the hood is closed ? I can’t mount my fuse block this way without clearance issues
Great job! I love how clean it turned out. I need to do this but I’m a little intimidated by electrical. Did this project delete the “ duck foot”?
hi tyler. nice work. i recently put power seats in the 93 1st gen. i caused a short and blew a 30 amp fuse. i replaced the fuse but now i don't have any power mirrors or radio... I'm wondering if theirs a rely or a circuit under the hood i might have blown. if you could give me some pointers that would be great.
I’m curious if you are willing to do some work on my first gen! I’m on the island as well and having heaps of electrical problems 😂😂
You didn’t need to but could you duck foot through this system
I'm looking to do this exact thing. I have all the parts (fuseblock, cables, circuit breaker etc) but can't find a good tutorial on mounting it to the engine bay. I understand the electrical part, but not the fastening-to-the-engine-wall part. What tools do you need to get the fuse block and relays solidly bolted into the wall?
Awesome video but one question did you eliminate the Ducks Foot and power those through the fus block ??
Whats the cost of all this roughly?
I am looking to do this! I am thinking of putting all circuits on switched circuits. Is there anything which will need constant power?
