Then I tried again, and it sounded like it was dying, and then it wouldn't turn over the starter. Maybe it's my starter now, but I don't think that was it originally.

The wiring was so complicated, I got the module and wired it to the existing camaro switch but no way in the world did it work, blew a couple of fuse and it was a big fail😂 looks like this 95 jeep motor doesn't need the module to control the motor so I'm gonna give this one a try.

    • @WiringRescue
      @WiringRescue 4 дні тому

      The wire, fuse, and relay sizes all depend out the amperage being drawn through the circuit. This question actually pops up a lot, so I made a video explaining it in great detail! ua-cam.com/video/EhzN6UdnmPA/v-deo.htmlsi=G2JMY6GjnqZyYmTp As for two fans with one relay - it is doable if the relay is sized properly for the two fans. That being said, it’s often cheaper to go with to smaller relays than one large one. So check out that fuse/wire size video link - and then decide on the relay with your wallet! :)

I notice that you wire the horn switch to the ground block and the relay, but for the headlights you wire to the positive block and the relay.

      Much appreciated. I assumed there was a very simple explanation. Thanks for the quick response.

    Thank you I will need to try on my 75 beetle vw and I got a square relay with 3 proud the original flasher relay which led relay I will need. And for tail light I assume I don’t need relay.

    How do u wire a push start button to a marine ignition switch?

      Marine engines are still engines like cars have, just different shapes and sizes. So you should be able to use this video below to help you out. I would think accessing the starter wires will be your biggest hurdle. Wrenching on boats can be a challenge! Check this out ua-cam.com/video/LJ4wh_whblM/v-deo.htmlsi=joYu1QUIQyWUiRw4

    So my 62 scout never used relays why are the needed great video by the way

      Scouts are super awesome. As for relays - it allows you to not run the full electrical load through the switch. This is a good idea for a variety of reasons, and I actually made a video about this - check it out - ua-cam.com/video/QCkfFCLa_Jg/v-deo.htmlsi=KvuDluCEQ8Pvn3FB

      After commenting I watched the video explaining relays makes sense thanks

    Looks easy, now try doing this with the engine still in the vehicle

      I’ve done this about 2 billion times with the engine installed. I made this video with the engine out because it is FAR easier to explain and get it on camera. I’m just trying to help people who run into this issue.

    Excellent video! A few comments to fill in a bit more. Fuses are generally sized to the wire rather than the load. The wire is presumably sized to the load but the point is fuses don't protect devices they keep the wire from burning up. Older vehicles have a fusible link or a thin piece of wire in-line that will burn up and the thin wire might not be easy to spot. Typically it is one gauge smaller and a few inches long. Obviously starters without a solenoid on them will not spin down faster without a diode since they use centrifugal force.
