Hey guys,

So the wire leading from my battery to the switch in my cab is...uhm...unusable...anyway i need to make a new one and since i've got the freedom to make it safe(er) I've got a couple questions.

1. What wire should i use and where can i get it?
2. What type and rating of fuse should i put on the line?


Thanks Guys

 

the fuse to the switch needs to be a 5amp,the fuse to the relay needs to be a 30amp.As far as wire any auto parts store will have it,go 14awg at leaste.

 

I didnt install a relay. I just used the factory wiring and it was a single wire with an inline fuse that ran straight from the battery to the switch. Should i add a relay? How do i do this?

 

yes use a relay,that way you wont get an ectrical fire.Do you have the directions to the lights? It shows how to wire it.There is a link on here let me find it.

 

Thanks. Could i get the relay at an auto store as well?

 

30 amp needs to be 10 guage wire at least. No good to put a fuse in undersized wire, the fuse won't blow before the wire starts to melt.

 

Yeah the will have everything,most relays have a small diagram on them showing what wire goes where.

 

your right my bad,sorry

 

Thanks guys. Looks like its off to autozone so they can set me up again.
