roamingyak Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I have a lot of things that would like an ignition feed, five off the top of my head. Is there a nice way to connect them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Use a single ignition feed to switch a relay on. The relay can take feed from a fused permanent live source (or direct from battery) and feed multiple things, for example via a bussed fusebox.

roamingyak Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thanks. Got a bussed fuse box, being mounted behind the front passengers seat for multiple items to hang off it, connects to Aux battery etc. This is more for things that currently only reach the dash dials area - ie: reversing light, low coolant alarm etc that already have a fuse inline. I'd really like something small enough to sit in the dash behind the speedo dials etc if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 A relay plus this: https://www.furneauxriddall.com/acatalog/ATC-Six-Way-Fuse-Holder-and-Screw-Terminals-with-Cover-and-Link-BEP_ATC_6W.html#SID=987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamingyak Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Could you kindly link to a suitable relay please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Literally any 12v relay that is rated for the TOTAL current you would want to draw (add up ALL the devices you want to power from it and maybe add a safety margin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
