You didn't just go through Collins Ms did ya?@Jackal

Easily could have been someone else, but I was checking out a huge camper going north on 49 when I noticed the big black Ford and the driver favored what pics I've seen of you maybe. I says to myself that could have been @JACKAL hauling one for someone.

I am on the road today, just stopped after 1100 miles. Started in Pioneer,TN then picked up load in Goshen, IN currently in Omaha, NE headed to Salt lake city, UT for delivery. Was pretty much I75, I74, I69, I80 though.

Lol no opposite direction NW to Utah.

Lol no opposite direction NW to Utah.

Oh well.

 

[chadbo]

Oh well.

It was a long shot

Alibi established!! Lol.

Thanks so much for the detail Jackal. I think your approach is very bold and creative, I would not have thought of going that route. On one hand, I hate to be wuss here waiting to see how other thinking men solve these issues, but on the other, why not gain by their experiences.
I also want to thank you for the info on the hole size in the glass windshield. I see that there is a, on the cheap, hand manipulated wiper that may fit that hole and it gives me additional options if I buy the glass windshield, at least until I either spring for the Honda model or wait until an after market becomes available.

On the Bussman relay...isn't there 6 fused and 6 relayed circuits? I am thinking of powering all 6 of my lighted switches (which will control the relay circuits) with one or more of the fused circuits. When I first got this PDM I thought it may have been designed so that each fused circuit would power the switches for the relay circuits, but after much tested inquiry on this board, I now understand that low amp power can be jumped switch to switch like the ground, leaving a number of fused circuits for additional low amp devices. I don't know how much power it takes going to a switch to trigger the relay, so I don't really know how many switches I can power with say a 15 amp fused circuit? Lastly, you answered one questions that I have not asked which was where do you all get your jumpers. You make your own. Thanks again.

I'm really confused about the winch, does the stock Honda winch need a relay. Looks like it already has one, only thing I did was whitch the positive lead to second battery and the control wires are very small and don't carry the amps to run the winch?

Almost every winch has a specific relay for it's needs. Then big heavy gauge wires go from battery to relay (red & black) then the other two heavy gauge wires (blue & yellow) go from relay to winch, then there is two small wires that go to accsy power and ground to trigger the relay box of the winch.

8 awg for power and 16 awg for controls

So the winch has it's own relay built in? Right? Can you buy mutable relays like a fuse box?

Iv'e got a set of Millar whips coming, says all you need is a switch. Comes with 6 foot Y lead. Don't know if it comes with leads to the fuse box. I haven't seen the wiring diagram yet. Any one running Millars?

Here is a typical winch relay.


In this setup below the relay above is in top right corner of below picture. Note the heavy wires I previously mentioned.

No relay needed, maybe a 10 amp fuse. Can wire direct to switches. Anything under 20 amp can go to quality rocker switches without a relay.

the relay needed for the winch is is 100xs what a relay for lights are at any givin time a winch can draw 100s of amps a light 10ish

Mine is very similar.The two open spade connections go to the controls

After I get it wired I think I will leave it outside and see if it catches fire. HA! If I get a light bar, I would think I would need a relay.

Well a rule of thumb is if you smell plastic wire insulation burning, it's bad...

Thanks for all the help, I think?

Lot of great info with you build.
Thanks

Just installed automatic fire suppression system, I think it would have made more since to pay some one to wire Rooster! HA!
