My Hate Love with Amazon - love that I can get everything there and hate that it has a complete listing of everything I have bought for my Honda - incase I ever decide to add it all up


I have the evidence for two of them, I'm just glad my wife hasn't taken the initiative to add it all up and it wasn't the only place I got the parts and pieces.

Hahaha my wife just asks "why is there always a package at the front door when I get home from work?" I reply with "Nothing"

Hey guys another newbie question, are you fusing before or after the relay? I was going to fuse right after the power source before the relay. Or is that a no no?

My wife thinks I live in a never ending state of 'Christmas Day'... she's always asking "do you have any deliveries coming today?" :rolleyes:

@Tbowman053
I used a 12 circuit fuse panel. Everything is fused before a relay in my scenario. If you are not using a fuse panel. Please fuse as close to the battery source as possible.
I have my fuse panel fused from my aux battery, then every circuit is individually fused from there. I spec'd my fuse panel out with a ground distribution as well. This way I can run a power/ground to all my accessories together. I find this leaves less ground issues later on in life.

That's exactly what my wife says too. Has my wife been talking with your wife?

It's not a problem, just purely conversation. If it was an issue, this wouldn't be the time and platform talk about that.

Blink twice if she's holding you captive!
Thats funny and I would but she dosnt. Have you heard of the term "happy wife Happy life"? Learned that the hard way one time some years ago, so I don't go there. She's a very sweet person that contributes to saving people's lives every day. I might that she can also shoot a flee off of an elephants ass at 200 meters also ;). So it's all out of respect that's all.

Lol.. I can totally relate. I just can't help but laugh and poke the bear when I hear someone make reference to hiding what they've spent or asking permission.
