I'm a fuseaholic, think I'd add an inline between the switch and the pump!!! Other then that, sounds kewl to me....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

the dual fuel pump relay I'm looking to get has a 30A breaker included for each high current circut, should I also get a 10A fuse and holder? because the pump is only supposto draw 5A.

Yup, that's what I would do.... An extra fuse is cheap compared to the cost of not having one where it should have been if things go wrong!!!!! Originally Posted by Matt167

in our area it's somthing like 80% of vehicle fires are electrical related, and mostly kids with there huge boom box 'Systems' wiring things str8 to the battery with no fuses, but I don't want my car to be a part of that percentage... I'll wire it safe. Originally Posted by Dave Severson

I also think an electric fuel pump is good to think about using for anti-theft purposes. Like a toggle hidden up under the dash.

You should be able to switch on about 100 relays with one remote wire ,.....I am not 1000 percent shure but I think its in the mili amps to throw the pole on a relay? I have 2 relays on one switching wire ....I guess I could stick the fluke meter on there and see what 2 relays draw on the remote switching wire.
And like dave said fuses every where,what I did was to put one of those huge bladed fuses right at the main power up at the horn relay and the fuse is about 2 inches away from the battery for safety,If all the fuses under the dash do not blow the big bladed fuse powers all of the truck up,with it out there is power no where.Soo far I have been able to get by with a 50 amp fuse in there for all the power on the vehichle.Last edited by shawnlee28; 03-15-2007 at 09:19 AM.
