[QUOTE="RiceNotNice, post: 545731, member: 548708"] Here's a *very* crude diagram of what i hooked up. the relay does not have a cap in it. rather it takes the signal from the HU and switches on the 12v from the battery. the wire from the battery is 10g and it's fused with an inline blade fuse like this: [URL="http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=270-1234"]http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=270-1234[/URL] The small distro block is, once again prob overkill, but it lets me fuse all my stuff separately . i used something kinda like this: [URL="http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=263-510"]http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=263-510[/URL] To make the connections to the relay to turn accessories on with the HU use this setup: Terminal 87...to Battery (12v) Terminal 30...to accessories Terminal 86....to ground Terminal 85....to HU Terminal 87A...not used I used female spades to make the connections bad drawing link not working. refer to [URL="http://www.bcae1.com"]http://www.bcae1.com[/URL] "relays" section. the diagram near the end of the page entitled "wire and fuse calculator" will show the proper connections to the relay [/QUOTE]
