Default Wiring gurus step on in.

I am installing an MS3 Gold box into my S10 turbo build. I am new to these controllers and have a bunch of things to wire up and I really don't want to screw up an let any smoke out.

I know, or at least think I know that things that are controlled with a relay such as fans, fuel pump, trans brake ect are using the gold box to ground the relay which turns on the part. I get that one.

But here is where I have brain farted. I bought a switch panel that comes with a relay panel. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/arc-8000d

The issue is I wanted to use some of these relays if possible. But these relays are turned on by the switch itself. So it isn't being called on by the gold box. It looks like I might have to buy more relays and wire them independently.

Next question, is there anyone that just loves to mess with these things that might want to stop by and help out? It also wouldn't hurt to have someone that knows tuning a little when I first fire it up too.

I appreciate any help at all.
