Engine bay switched 12v power

[jaykay]

Thank you, yes I am aware of that plug. Its very handy but I think the circuit is only rated at 7.5 amps. I am no electrician but I would think connecting up two 5amp loads would give trouble on that circuit.

Inside the cockpit, I am considering pulling power off of a rarely use 30 amp circuit and then have individual 5 amp fuses for each load .....and others.

I was eyeing the defroster fuse which is 30 mps and should provide switched 12v to power a number of different loads. I believe one would stick a tester on to one fuse terminal with ignition on and that will do it. Then plug in a fuse tap and run that to your terminal block to power all of your stuff. I am not sure what would be a good available ground for the terminal block near the fuse box.

I never use the defroster but I guess there could be trouble if one accidentally hit the defrost button. Is there a better 30, 35 amp circuit out the fuse box that would be better?

The are unused slots but I doubt there is power there. I really need to get a good tester.
