The guy that installed mine ran my 12 v switched to a fuse in the fuse box. Dont know if its the safest or best place but its been flawless for almost 2 years now for me. Hope this helps!!

(If its a bad place I hope someone else chimes in.)

Hope this helps you out. Very easy to do. I used the the fuse for the gauges by the way. Also if going this route, the panel cover will stick out just a bit at the top...I used some black electrical tape to help hold it...can't even tell when the door is closed.

Yeah that would work but wat about a power source for the acc post by and fuse boxes under the hood with a 30 amp fuse tied in with it bc it will be bring power the wot switch and the purge together and both are a three porg switch

I may be wrong but isn't that post a constant power not switched 12 Volt source?? Not sure what to tell you on the fuses under the hood...I think I looked there and chose my path instead. Guess it depends on how you have things run under the hood as to the best fit in your application.

Personally I pull the keyed 12 volt from the back of the fuse box area. I feed the relay power a direct feed from the battery. BUT we install a small fuse box in all our installs. The heater, purge, system, dedicated and all have fuses. So technically we have a positive feed from the battery to fuse box and then to components.

The fuse blocks we use are in this link.

Graham, that's how I did mine, battery for direct power to the relay and 12 volt keyed from interior fuse panel to the switch plate.

Should I put a fused link into the power wire from the batt to the relay??

I used the gauge fuse....works fine. I thought about the ASR as well but decided the fuse panel was a better choice for me. I don't see any problem doing it either way...just less time maybe.

We use a wire tap on the foglight or tcs power wire. Works perfectly. Relay power directly to battery with a fuse
