Anyone got some good wiring diagrams for their electric setup to share?

Jeez jskogsta,
If you get that lot wet you're going to end up looking like Yahoo Serious........... LOL

Cheers Wayne.

PS I'm intersested to see what happens with this post.

Every vehicle's aftermarket wiring is unique and I don't know whether there will be anybody that can specifically answer your question.

The main thing is to use the appropriate sized cable and circuit breakers/fuses.

Lay it all out logically..... I would be running a quite heavy cable from the 2nd battery to the cargo bay area and then use a multi-fuse board (Narva make ones with 4,6,8 and 10 fuses capacity). From there you run the required smaller cables to the various accessories, outlets etc.

One suggestion though.....as far as the voltmeter etc is concerend. Because you won't be watching these meters constantly, why not use a single meter and install a switch on it so you can toggle between the 2 batteries? That is what I have done and it works very well, less expensive for the switch that a 2nd gauge.

jskogsta,

I'm in the process of putting a switch panel in my 100s - going to have the switch for the rear light, winch controls and cut-off and an amp meter/volt meter to monitor fridge battery.

I tried the below site and ordered a switch panel to my design - US$45 delivered, I think someone on here directed me to them. They seem pretty good to deal with.

Just download their basic CAD program, doodle away, and hit send. Looks pretty smick.

Hi
I have a kit for a GU in the mail from Derek (ABR - advertiser on the site) I should have a play with it in 2 weeks when I get home, it isn't as complex as yours, but will consist of a 'smart' relay controlling a 'dumb' relay (this will allow an override for jumpstart and winching etc), battery tray, moniter with switch between the 2 batteries, heavy cabling to the rear, where there will be a junction box with heavy wires to an anderson plug (trailer battery charging), and a couple of plugs into the rear left of the cargo area.

The cable leangths were measured up as well as I could, and I'll try to take my time on the installation taking care to note what cables shold be a little shorter or longer etc and bake that info available (with photo's etc) to come up with some sort of standard system people can use....

I will post when done

Cheers Andrew

Hi jskogsta,

When I up date my member profile... as time permits, I will post some pics of a project that (was supposed to go in the 60) will now go in the 80.

Cheers,
Wayne.
