Recently installed a 6 way fuse box, used a relay so that it was controlled by the ignition. For the ignition control I found the rear registration plate light and then tapped into the live feed from that (blue and brown wire). It works well so far, it now give me switched control for heated grips, 12V aux power socket and front spot lights. Will soon be installing sat nav as well, only need two more gizmo's then!!
The basic loom with the positive and negative attached to the relay
Used the bolt from the battery bracket to earth, instead of stacking to much on battery terminal.
This is the feed for the switched power from the rear light.
The four relay terminals are connected as follows
- 30: positive battery terminal
- 85: wire from rear light
- 86: negative battery terminal
- 87: Fuse box
Fits nicely in front of battery
