For wiring buffs! Please help! - Jeff - 07-31-2006 So, this is what I am thinking I want to do. I want to get one waterproof fuse block and one interior block. I am affraid of a few things... 1. Overload of ignition wiring by aftermarket stuff (ignition is 12ga) 2. Too much loose wiring in car and engine bay. 3. Fire from fuseable links Do these fears seem founded? My alarm system (keyless entry, remote start, turbotimer) is wired strait to the ignition harness. They all have heavy gauge wire on them. But I must add relays for the door locks (two in each door, thats 2 power wires 12constant per door) and other things, like the wideband to the system. These loads are all being placed on the ignition harness wiring. They have independent fuses, but still. Does the system above make sense to everyone? Seem safer? What amperage relays would you use and what gauge wire to them from the ignition harness? I will edit this up as I investigate the car more, give me feedback on what I have here. - D_Eclipse9916 - 07-31-2006 I would use 10 gauge. I dont use anything less than 10 gauge on everything I do, unless it something like a wire for the light of a boost gauge, which I hack into my cigarette lighter. I have 4 gauge for my amp, 8 gauge for my fuel pump. However I always beleive in overkill. It cant hurt. For you and your application,, just do 10 gauge. Your smart, if your worried, overkill it.
