Relay Box

 

 i IMPROVED THE WIRING AND SWITCHING FOR THE VARIOUS POWERED ACCESSORIES I'VE ADDED OVER THE YEARS, SUCH AS FOG LAMPS.  i USED A COMPACT WATERPROOF ENCLOSURE TO HOUSE 6 FUSED RELAY CIRCUITS MOUNTED ON A CUSTOM ARMATURE I CREATED.  i ALSO WIRED AN INTERIOR AUXILIARY FUSE PANEL TO PROTECT LOW POWER CIRCUITS, SUCH AS MY CB RADIO.  i TOOK MY TIME AND DID A GOOD JOB.  tHIS PROJECT SPANNED SEVERAL WEEKS. i WIRED CONTROL CIRCUITS FOR MY SWITCHES USING CAT5 ETHERNET CABLE TO OPERATE MY ACCESSORIES. tHE ETHERNET CIRCUITS SIMPLY POWER COILS GENERATING A MAGNETIC FIELD IN EACH RELAY WHICH ACTIVATSE THE HIGHER POWERED ACCESSORY CIRCUITS UNDER THE HOOD.
