Right, so I'm about to sort the cable issue on my VIAIR Install (viewtopic.php?f=65&t=10557)
But what I'd like to do is run 50mm cable to the boot for a power point( I am planning on installing a leisure battery at some point as well as an Inverter, hence the cable size) and then wire my compressor into that. Only thing is I'm not sure what the best way to do this would be.
I'm thinking of doing what Chris has done and mount a mega fuse on the firewall. Now this is where I get stuck.
1. What size mega fuse should I run?
2. In the boot should I just mount an Auxiliary fuse box?
3. If so what type?
4. Do I need to install relays on anything? In other words should the secondary fuse box be switched?
6. Do I need to run a + & - cable to the secondary fuse box or can I just run a + cable and ground off of the bodywork?
7. If I do need to run two cables then should I run the - from the battery and + from the Aux power point under the bonnet?
8. Have I gotten this completely wrong or is there anything I have completely missed?
Any help/info much appreciated.
Cheers
