Also be sure to use wire of correct gauge based upon length of the wire run and maximum anticipated current load if in doubt us larger size.

OK, thanks. I was guessing that was the answer. It's a brand new Ron Francis harness, so I am assuming they used the correct size wire. I'll pick up their relay kit. That'll be the 6th relay I have in this little car. This electrical system will be a work of art by the time I'm done with it.
