Hey guys. I plan on running a distribution block. I have 3 gauges and a spal fan to hook up. On the distribution block, i know i can double up gauges to run off one fuse, but my question is, how do i know how large of a fuse to put in in the distribution block? Do i look at the specs for the manuals, or do i just keep (within reason) adding a bigger fuse, til it quits blowing?
Also, i plan to hook up a bosch relay inbetween the battery and distribution block, and using a switch (such as antenna, radio, etc, like Gary mentioned) to complete the connection to the distribution block when i turn the car on. So my quesiton is, will the bosch relay hold the amperage, after hooking up all 3 gauges, and the spal fan? If i want to hook up more and more stuff, would hooking up yet another distribution block with another bosch relay be better? I think if i'm on the right track of thinking, if i hook up too much still to the distribution block, it'll pull to much amperage and blow the bosch relay...right?
I know how to set all this up and how to hook up relays, i'm just curious, again as mentioned above, what fuses to get for the distribution block, and if the bosch relay will hold up.
Or I might do with Simba did, put a big inline fuse in source. Then have bosch relays coming off the distribution block.
I have another question though...don't they have relays rated with higher amperage, say 50amps? Then all you would have to do is have one trigger going to that relay (inbetween the batt and dist block), and be done with it (which is the same idea that Gary mentioned..just rated higher amperage).
Thanks!
