"Constant power out is misleading" because once it is switched, it is no longer constant. The correct term is NC (normally closed,87a) when inactivated. The terminal that is switch on is NO (normally open, 87) activates with power on. Terminal 30 is "common" (sends power to 87 OR 87a.)
I could use some help. I got the same kit. I'm trying to wire a setup and unsure how to go about it. It's just been TH-cam video after video and a headache. Lol Now that I seen this, I think I got it all backwards. If you could assist that would be a huge help. It's like 7th redo for me. Lol
What I am trying to do: I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe. 1 roof light bar, 1 grille, 3 small pods for driver, passenger and reverse. We use my truck for hauling wood and late night drives. I am also thinking of adding in electric fans to replace the clutch fan. I bought 2 of the exact same fuze/relay box. Figuring 1 relay per switch on lights. I want my first switch to act as a kill switch so I can use the lights with or without truck running. 2nd switch for roof. 3rd switch for grille. 4th switch for driver. 5th switch for passenger. And 6th switch for reverse. I know it's overkill to run so much. But where I live it get pretty dark. And I also left wiggle room with relay/fuze just in case I wanted to add more later down the road. Like my electric fan conversion. If you could help me better understand how I should rewire things it be appropriated. I think I wired the fuze/relays wrong. I have 30 on top and 87 on bottom. Fuzes to the right. 😅🤣 Like I said it's just been alot of rewiring and a little headache. 😂
Sorry for the late reply. I’m confused on your first switch. Are you wanting it to be like a throw switch that activates everything else? If so I wouldn’t even wire it through a relay. I would wire power through that switch to provide power to all the other switches and just run it in a series off the first switch.
Ya, that's my question, I'm sure I'm not adding 6 power wires to battery, are they not combing down to 1 or 2. I've looked at a few boxes, trying to get instructions and info. I'm still stuck on the negative and power, as 6 wires each, seems like alot to try and put on a single post
Would have been great to see some close up shots too, maybe of just the finished project. Thanks for the video,!
I’ll keep that in mind next time. Thanks.

where does pwr wires go (-) (+)
As in power from battery?
I have the same question. Yes. Where does the power go from this to the battery?

He uses a distribution block for power and ground
Clean your shed
It has gotten much worse since making this video😂😂
@ProjectVenture must drive you nuts (mine was the same to recently and now I can actually use it).
