REMEMBER to fuse both the switched 24V tap for the relay coil and the 14V tapping point to the relay.
And of course ANY relay added needs to have a diode across the coil to reduce reverse EMF.
I’ll stop at O’reilys or autozone and hopefully one of the people there can help me get the right parts and maybe even walk me through the wiring.
But if I understand right, I will take power off the ignition switch (which is 24v) , put an inline fuse in, then connect to a 24v relay (which will act as a switch that simply turns my 12v stuff from off to on). So separately I will have a fused 12v line going into the relay, and then a load going out to my accessories.
FWIW I have the 200amp alternator. Idk what amps that puts out on the 12v side.
It seems that most of these relays are 30 amps? So I’d use an 30 amp fuse on the 24v line?
My 1165 has 12v power which has an 15 amp fuse, but I hope I can step that up to 25 or 30 amps without issue? If I use that as my line into the relay, it would already be fused.
And what’s the difference in continuous duty and not? Some relays note that in the description and others don’t.
