Adding Relays summer project
 
OK,

Lets see those schematics of adding a relay to the following:

Fan 30 amp load
Lights
Fuel pump 15 - 20 amp

I also need to know what relay to use? Manufactures, model number and part numbers.

Mike,
I will hook you up with everything you need. I also have a 40 amp relay you may want to consider for the fan with a diode across the load to increase relay life. We can chat this weekend. Jeff

I have some excellent wire nuts you can use. The are left over from my remodeling project. :D

Do they come with RING SEAL?

Mike,
Now that Jeff is clearly way to busy for us small potato people would you like me to work on your car?
I'm a pretty good hand when it comes to working on cars.
Here's a couple ideas for you.

Wa, that's cold.......or was it a shot? tin-man:LOL:

Danr55 05-20-2010 01:00 AM

Hmm? Looked like a shot. Sounded like a shot. Reads like a shot. Why would you think it's a shot?

Car Nut 05-24-2010 07:48 AM

How are those relays coming? :D

Hey Carnut,
I heard a vicious rumor you took a few hours out of your day to draw a schematic for our HMFIC. Actually I know you did cause I was lucky enough to get a look at it. Wow what a great job and kinda like the safety of redundant circuits you suggested.

Mike, with that data you are set. Let me know if you need any bailing wire or those twisty wire things. Jeff C

mikiec 05-24-2010 02:22 PM

I have all the bailing wire I need, left over from my old Harley days. Plenty twisty things and bubble gum. I will need some additional wire seal and hole eraser.

You would think with him being a draftsman 'wanna be' he could have made a better drawing. :):):)

Mike

Danr55 05-24-2010 03:32 PM

Mike, Can you use ring seal instead of hole eraser? You know, make them fit better instead of rubbing them out? I've heard a lot of guys in California do that and save big bucks.. Think on it.

A better drawing would have only confused you. :D

And cost you.:p

Car Nut 05-24-2010 10:12 PM

Dan would happy to help you, for free. :D

mikiec 05-25-2010 12:04 AM

The next car Dan gets should, no, must have a sealed engine. Also, major warning signs under the hood... NO TOOLS ALLOWED.

JLNanson 05-27-2010 10:17 AM

Looks like you have plenty of help but if you need me to jump in just call.

mikiec 05-27-2010 01:28 PM

Thanks Jerry.. I am good to go.

Just a couple of additional questions.

based on a 40amp draw.

1. Should the relay be mounted close to the switch or the device ie: fan?

2. What size wire do I need from the Battery to pin 30 and from pin 87 to device?

I'm guessing 12 to 14 Gauge.

Mike
