I have a ton of electronics hooked up directly to my truck battery. This includes my MSD ignition, 7 KC Daylighters, Tachometer, etc. I was just going to add a couple more lights on my truck, and I was thinking.....There's got to be a better way to wire all this. I have way too many wires connected directly to the positive terminal of my battery. Does anyone here have a better idea on how to power all these systems? Thanks!!!

 

Connect an auxillary fuse panel and fuse each of the wires. Automotive store should have a wide selection of them to choose from. Having them off the battery and separated in a panel is much safer. I reccomend bolting the aux. panel to the lead line on the main power box rather than to the battery. Keeping the battery clean and clear is a good idea.

 

Hi,
There is a nice article in "Tech Articles" section called something like "So you want to add some electrical accessories...".

there is no need to connect to the battery . Just to the right of the battery on the firewall is the power block . You can attach there without any problems . Remember to fuse everything .
