#1 power a number of loads in the cockpit via a terminal block. IIRC the block can handle 35 amps coming in:
-shift light;
-l and r fan switch latching relays; Press the AC button, it will turn on the fans. Also finding a 30 amp latching relay is very difficult and not cheap when you do find one.
-engine compartment fan latching relay; Why? DME is going to turn this on when it wants to
-ipad charge; get this and wire to radio switched/ground https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08K271H6W
-foot well lighting; Use LED's and wire into existing wires
-machine guns; Thinking a 100amp will be the minimum here, more if you want an ejection seat
-camera;
-phone charge; Plug into the same above. also another one you could hide somewhere https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JC1DQF
-secret stuff; Can't help with this since it is a secret
-engine gauges. These usually dont require power unless they are lighted, which would just wire into existing interior lights such as at the radio.
I would think the 7.5 amp phone connector powering the terminal block would not work. The fuse would certainly pop as the draw from two of the above loads would kill it. Hence, the original question: how to best safely tap a 30 amp circuit from the footwell fuse box.....phew. And ground it....properly.
#2 Power an engine gauge sensor module to be located on the trunk firewall with ignition switched 12V power. The load is fused at 5 amps. Sensor wires will be routed through the trunk firewall somewhere. I think the engine bay itself will be too harsh for it..... |
Just saw this...see above. None of these are things I would wire to a single thing, they are all individual items that each have to be looked at by themselves, not together.
