Bussman Power Distribution Module

[AxlesUp]

was wondering if anyone has used one of these?

I usually use one of these:

in fact i keep one of the blue sea blocks in my electrical tool box along with a couple of the hella relays/pig tails.

I was thinking that the bronco sees a lot more wet stuff than the cars i usually work on and the bussman box would go great under the hood.

I'm also thinking as simple as my bronco is i might be able to use the 8 relays to power the entire harness.
high draw stuff:
high beam headlights(100 watt halogen)
heater blower motor
radiator fan
windshield wipers?

Low draw stuff:
blinkers/ markers/ tail lights/ hazards/ reverse lights
interior lights/ gauges/ led zombie lights
ignition/ charging system/ fuel pump/ starter


what am i forgetting? i run a carb with manual choke and no stereo.


the only thing that i don't understand about the module is how all the ground seems to run through 3B? how can a 200 amp block ground through one tiny terminal wire rated for 30 amps?

the joy of the two part power system is i can wire one for acc power(contactor or solenoid actuated) and one for all the time power.

i figure to use one relay for headlights with low beam powered by 87a as a DRL and high beam powered by 87.

heater as high only because i'm either cold or not. its not like i have doors LoL

3b just drives the relays.most relay's only draw an amp maybe.

That's the box (or similar) that AAW uses in this kit: http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/produc...y-Universal-Harness-Kit/Bronco_Wiring_Harness
It's pretty cool and I'm leaning that way myself.

Dying to try it at least on something I'm working on!

Crieghtliner uses the same box along with a lot of busman products. Their stuff is very nice. Good clean way to wire a system as long as you take the time to crimp all the terminals correctly where they go into the 4 connectors.
fyi typical Bosch relay draws around 300 to 400 milli amps or .3 to .4 amps.
