  • Installing an auxiliary fuse block helps provide more secure circuits when adding accessories inside your rig. In this video, I demonstrate the mechanics of why and how it works. Plus a detailed install.

    Hallelua its a miracle! A video that shows us how to ACTUALLY wire rather than showing the done project!!

    Here is a stupid question. You have 1. Only 1 fuse box. You have 6 fuse slots in that 1 box. You have a 15 amp, a 10 amp, a 20 amp, a 30 amp, 4 amp, and a 3 amp. Do you need a 90 amp fuse. Or a 30 amp fuse 1 foot from the battery? Do you add it all together? Or do you go based off of the biggest fuse in the box to dictate the fuse needed near the battery?

    You saved me. I was bout to give up with the project. Spent hours on internet breaking my head trying figure out, how to power up the fuse blocks without draw power from the actual wiring or without add a toggle switch. Thanks a lot

    When you tapped into the fuse block for the switch what if you don’t have a open spot how do you determine which port and size fuse for the fuse tap?

    Did u run the ground from the relay to the fuse block ground ?

    As an aircraft mechanic who loves tinkering, I absolutely admire your experience and the workmanship shows.Have to admit that the length of the video was a bit intimidating, but as I was watching, found it absolutely informative and insightfully stimulating. Thanks for the video! Keep up the good work!

    Classic cars are so easy. The only source what need constant power are the hazard lights. Everything else can be triggered by ignition. Means also, safe of a lot of relays for each acc. As soon as the on off switch can handle the acc, there is no need for a relay

    You size the wire for the load. You size the fuse for the wire.

    Thank you for this video. I have a question regarding a project I am working on. I intend to have a fuse block feeding two 50W transceivers (GMRS & HAM) and two power points. The transceivers pull 15 amps each when in transmit mode and the two power points pull 10 amps each. Presently, I have an 80 amp relay that I want to wire as you show in the video. Since the max amperage I would be pulling if all items are being used (which, btw, I don't intend to be transmitting on both radios at the same time) would be 60 amps, would I be better off using a breaker rather than the inline fuse you show in your video? Also, can I get away with using 10 gauge wire from the battery to the relay and fuse block? Thanks.

    I know this is old, but I Amin the process right now of doing this to my new side x side. I’m tired of adding, and adding, twisting, bending for additional accessories. Install this set up and make the rest of you life with that vehicle much easier!!

    Great explanation on exactly how and why the fuse block works! Step by step instructions were very clear and concise! Thanks!

    The best explanation on this subject so far! Thanks a lot and God bless you!

    Thanks a million, Chuck. I don't have the time at the moment to watch the whole video but will be back tonight. I'm doing a frame off on the YJ right now. I threw the dash and all the wiring as they were so hacked up from the PO. Flat dash and complete new wiring of my own. Also a 5.2 Dodge. I had not thought of the separate block for the switch on for the lite circiuts. Perfect.

    This is one of THE best videos I've watched in awhile. I love how you explain things and I enjoy your sense of humor.

    Outstanding video! You are down to earth, clear and concise in your explanation on how to do this. You took something that other folks on TH-cam make extremely complicated and made it very understandable. Thank you!

    Thanks for the info on this. I came up with the same concept in my head, but wasn't sure where to start with getting the parts needed. This was a big help.

  • @321southtube

    The interweb is about 75% lies, 20% half truths and then there's stuff like you put out in this video. Well put together, informative and very helpful. Ive been scratching my head at what to do then...boom...I find this gem. Great job.. Thank you

  • @mrmopar2060

    I couldn't agree with the previous comments more. I have searched and searched for info on adding accessory fuse boxes and this is by far the best one I have found. Thank you.
