Sounds bad... you mean you love the community but feel the tool could be improved?
Have you tried "Password123" for an admin pw?

I ended up with 3 relays. Fuel pump up front and 2 engine system relays at rear.

I also have a few more fuses than Brad. 1 each for wipers, lights (not really needed), brake lights, fuel pump, unswitched power and switched power - 6 total. I then added 4 that for accessories - cameras, Coolsuit, transponder and my face level blower fan. In my case a new fuse box is located on the end of the dashboard so that it is easily accessible and the original is gone along with the relay box.

Sounds closer to what I expect to see when I am done.
The new fuse box you mention, did you go the painlesswiring.com route?

No. I just bought 2 inexpensive universal fuse boxes (the sort with a single input connection and 6 fuses with spade outputs) on ebay. I then wired one as switched from the ignition key and one as unswitched from the distribution box and then utilized as appropriate for the purpose. Switched fuses go to 1.Engine (DME etc.) & ABS, 2. Fuel pump, 3. wipers, 4. lights, 5. brake lights and 6. transponder. Unswitched to 1. engine, 2. inside fan, 3. Coolsuit and 4. cameras. 5&6 are spare

If I had a clue how to post a photo I would do so but alas I am clueless when it comes to these new fanged technologies.

when preparing your response you should see a "attach a Photo" option below the text box. It allows you to upload a pic providing that it is no bigger than 2MB.

The other option is to upload a pic to a 3rd party pic site like imgur: the simple image sharer and just share the link to the pic. imgur actually offers the right code to embed in whatever interface you are using.

Michael, I just realized that you are in Austin. I'm in San Antonio. You are welcome to drop by any time and have a look at what I have done. Email me on Laurence.jitts@att.net if you would like to do so.
