Thought about that but switches are at a premium. If I’m coming into the cabin there’s no shortage of options.
Are you using that to turn on a master relay to power up the SPod or supply power to all the circuits that the SPod switches on and off via the relays?
12v from the battery feeds the block and is distributed as needed through the relays.
I don't see a fuse on the main power from bat to relay box. It needs one. The red wire that powers on the box for ignition protection is easiest to hook up for us using the instrument cluster power fuse and a fuse tap. That is in the fuse panel behind the glove box. We drill a small hole above the HVAC box behind the fuse box and run the wire in or out there. All the rest of the ignition controlled circuits are harder to tap into and I don't like t-taps into the OEM wires.
Thank you for helping.
Pull the two screws in the fuse block and push it to the side. Look in there with a flashlight and identify the dimples in the firewall so you don't drill into the air box. Drill from outside, shove a straight wire like welding rod or straightened out coat hanger through, tape electrical wire to that and pull it through the grommet.
It is bizarre if you look at the link he posted. The numbers don't add up at all.
I think the ignition power is powering up the 86 terminal on the relays, there definitely needs to be a megafuse or fuse link wire on the main battery wire. The relays may be rated at 20 or 30 amps each but the wiring and circuit board won’t handle that much current.
Essentially, looks like they might be using a small microprocessor with a small data cable running to the switch pod. I says it has temperature protection shut down at 100c, how hot are the under hood temperatures in a TJ? I think it’s a nice compact all in one unit but would be suspect of the quality. I cannot by 6 quality relays for that price.
