looking for another switched power source
I already have my wideband (5amps) hooked into my cig lighter circuit and if I'm charging my phone and running my radar detector I don't want to pop fuses.
Also my scavenging pump is running off the wiper motor. I need a circuit to add my boost controller into Any ideas? |
1) Run a new wire straight to the battery. Remember to put a fuse or breaker in the line.
2) To find existing wiring, check the FSM. |
Direct to battery will leave it on thus dead battery.

If you are going to be running a lot of added stuff, I suggest adding an interposing relay - coil driven by any switched wire, power for contacts from battery/fuse. If you want to find an existing wire, the FSM is your best bet. |
Haha I tried looking for another one in the fsm. Got dizzy. I was hoping to avoid another relay (have 2 from the BP kit.) I'm running out of places to hide them haha. I think I may have found one though.

There's one in the driver kick panel. Can't remember which off the top of my head but it's where I tied everything in. Use a volt meter to try them out and see which are switched and which are constant.

You can run a wire from the radio harness or Cig lighter to switch the relay on You can switch the scavenging pump and boost controler off it , get a good relay like Bosh |

Well found one. There are 2 separate circuit for the 2 different cig. Lighters. One is called cigar lighter and the other is power socket. Moved my add a circuit from the cigar to the empty slot above (also switched) and put another add a circuit to the power socket.

:tup:
but yah, see, 15A each. more than plenty to power all your accessories u listed with even one fuse. |
Well some of those I didn't want to overload the wires especially the 20a stuff. . Just got lucky that Nissan decided to run wiring to the empty spot. Each add a circuit takes up space of 3 fuses.

Since you have multiple connections, you may benefit from adding a fuse block. I have personally used this on my sport touring bike. Nice quality and you can add 6 new connections that can be constant or switched.

I am considering it. The area under my battery cover is looking pretty messy.
