Common Ground for Switches & Daisy Chaining Switched Source.
Common Ground for Switches & Daisy Chaining Switched Source. On the arming and bottle heater switches themselves, there are Ground contacts, ACC contacts, and Power contacts. What's the best common grounding point to connect the Ground contacts on all the switches?
And, do you recommend daisy-chaining the Power contacts together from the switched power source?

I Daisy chained my panel.
DRy Arm--->to Relay
Wet Arm---to Relay
Bottle Heater---> to Relay
Bottle opener
Purge--->to Relay
No issues
All run from one 25 amp fuse.
The heater of course is wired separately, and right from the battery with its own fuse.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!! Man, that looks nice. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to post this. That's about the cleanest looking switch configuration I have ever seen. That wiring setup rocks brother ... can't thank you enough Jim.
My origional panel was pretty bad, Vinny @ 860 Performance showed me that Y trick when he set up my system, took me a couple tries on some other panels but I got the hang of it now.

I had planned on fusing both relay hot leads individually between the relay and the battery connection using a 30-amp fuse on each. Does this sound about right? All my wiring is 14 gauge, except the arming switch and FPSS, which are 12 gauge and 18 gauge, respectively, because that's what came with the kit.
Connecting all grounds to one individual grounding point using star washers to cut into the body metal of the car. I've heard a lot of problems end up being poor grounding. Any way I can do a better ground point ... maybe to a ground wire on the motor? Or, is the body OK?
Hope you folks don't mind my questions.

Same Here WOW Robert!!! My connections looked about the same with multiple connectors. I took the car up to my local performance shop and the owner looked over it and just said I really need to re-do some of the connections/splices. I could tell he was almost laughing inside and trying to be serious about it. Hehehehe!!
