Hello jeepers!

*** PLEASE READ THIS POST FOR AN UPDATE AND REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...=1#post2573447

I have never done an electrical diagram before, but i am starting a project to make a switch panel where i can decide if i want my accessories to receive power directly from the battery when the jeep is off.
I know there's few of you who really know about this stuff and all the input i can receive from all you will be greatly appreciated, i want to do this but i don't want my jeep on fire

So, this is my theory (keep in mind that everything i have learned is by reading here in the forum, and online, i am not even close to an electrician):
(See attached image for reference, notice the "firewall" line, hat means wich components con on the engine side and wich on the passenger side)



When the jeep is off, the battery + runs to a relay (R01) that will send power to a power distribution block ONLY if a switch is ON (This switch is receiving power from another relay (R02) that will allow power from the battery to run to the switch ONLY when the car is off)
When the jeep is ON, the relay R02 is activated by a fused keyed power source, disabling the power to the switch and triggering the R01. My doubt is there, where the 12V wired to 87 on R02 and the 12V wire, coming from the output of the switch split together, to power the R01... is there a problem in that point? maybe current going back to somewhere where it means PROBLEM? or maybe is there an easier way that i just ignore because i am actually an ignorant on this electrical stuff...

p.s.: I know that sometimes one can use a relay not to exactly trigger another relay by sending the 12V, but just completing the ground, so maybe something like that could be easier... but i just can't see it

Thank you guys!

 

Help! I can't sleep thinking of this

 

Your drawing is correct. It will function as planed.

 

I have a question about this distribution block i am planning to use....

When i add one wire wire to one bolt, does it sends power to ALL of the other bolts? Or each bolt connects ONLY to the bolt infront of it? i need to clarify this please in order to continue with my planning... thnx!

 

It will only power the one next to it. If you want it power them all, you need something called a jumper that will connect them all.

 

Thank you. I am trying to learn as i go on this project

 

Ok, this is my Wiring Plan... The switches on the lower part of the drawing are these ones:


The relays at the engine bays will be an auxiliary relay box sold online with the bossman relay box, so everything is pretty good wired.

Here is the drawing for the wiring plan... i am looking for feedback on Wire Gauges and Fuses amps, i don't want to over do this too much, but don't want to have weak wires... i want this to be safe for me and my jeep and be confident when adding new fuses and equipment that everything is wired up correctly.

I aborted the original plan to have the ignition override switch, because i think that there is no reason why i would want to enable using stuff without the key, 'cause you always want to bo on the safe side and turn on the engine, or at least insert the key so you can't forget to turn everything off when done.

Hoping for feedback on this plan. Thnx

 

Anyone?

 

Could you please enlarge your drawing. Maybe devide it into two drawings?

 

Oh ok. I'll do that right now. You can see a link to a bigger drawing below the image. But i'll post a divided drawing now anyways. Thnx
