I feel like a lot of this is what many of us understood, at least in theory. Maybe not the fact that Accessory power goes OFF when you’re starting the car. In the end, though, seeing it with the aid of the test light and without the dash and trim in the way makes it so much easier to understand! Thanks, Pete, and HNY!

Thanks Mike, as I was looking at it I thought it would be a good chance to share, wiring is a tough one to explain.

Great video. My kit car is being wired a bit differently. I'm using a donor car keeping all that wiring for the chassis. Did a motor swap and using that harness and fuse block for that engine. So two fuse boxes which I think will be okay but your explanation helped. As I need to get the engine harness power ACC and ignition power. Thanks

This is very interesting. I'm measuring the resistance between the wires at to the top of the fuse box and chassis ground. Should the resistance always be low, like ground to ground resistance, or does it depend on the components in each circuit? And should all of those connections have continuity with ground?
@PetesGarage2 жыл бұрын
If there is nothing in the circuit resistance should be low. Some things will not have continuity to ground if there is a switch or relay in the system

Great video! I plan to use a Bus Bar for clean ignition power and ground. My question is, is it okay to splice into Ignition Power and then have item (Fuel pumps for two tanks) routed into PDM? I'm installing a Holley Sniper 2 EFI with PDM and Hyperspark into a ‘74 Chevy K10. Ign Power~Bus Bar~PDM using 14awg…do you think that will be good enough? I'm just nervous to cut and splice that wire.

It would be better to run the fuel pumps through a fuse first

Hello, Great video . i wanted to ask you , in this setup, does the positive wire from the battery to the ignition switch go through or the fuse box or it bypasses it? also , are the always on accessories like the horn ,lights powered by the positive wire from the battery or does it split in the fuse box to be fused? i have a trouble understanding how did you route and differentiate between always on accessories and the others because they all seem to come from the same fuse box. thanks a lot!
@PetesGarage Жыл бұрын
It goes trough the fuse box. The accessories are also powered positive through the accessory fuse

Hey I was just wondering because I couldn’t quite understand it in the video, but if I wire something to the accessory power will it still have power when the car is running and driving? Thanks Liam

Hello Pete, Question I have an old 75 scout 11 and the old style glass fuse panel is pretty much shot, I'd like to install a new fuse panel and remove the old one. I have the factory service manual and have the wiring schematic. Essentially there is a battery feed connector a packard 3 over 3 style that has a 10 ga wire that runs and powers one leg of the fuse panel. there is a 12 ga pink wire that runs to the Ignition B terminal which is always hot, and like you explain the ign switch is where the constant and switched items feed from. so my question is is the entire fuse panel always hot? mean you have your fuses protecting the hazzards the lights the headlights ect, but it doesn't seem to me there are any switched items at the fuse panel, so if i run that 10ga from the battery feed to my new panel do I just connect it to the hot lug feed at the bottom and the whole panel is hot? I'm sure you get my question. thanks in advance you're the best on the tube at describing these things and a great instructor.
@PetesGarage5 ай бұрын
Parts of the fuse panel are always hot, and other parts become hot when the ignition switches turned on. That's my guess

Ok so have an old 2006 Toyota Camry just need a positive trigger wire from fuse box to boot (using double adapter fuse holder) I’m guessing fuse is under dash is where I can install? It’s for dc to dc charger, the thing is I have fuse called “ECU-IG” I’m guessing that’s it?

Hello Pete. Question. when u turns the key to start the engine, the red wire from Batt touch the Ppl wire from neutral safety switch to turns he engine on, How this circuit works?
@PetesGarage12 күн бұрын
The neutral safety switch breaks continuity so the starter won't operate. Being in neutral completes the circuit.
