Wiring car lights questions ( making own loom)
Discussion
I've Been busy putting a honda blackbird engine in a peugeot 205,
I've got the engine and dash wired sorted and it runs
I know I need to use relays for dipped beam, main beam, tail lights,
I know I need a flasher relay for the indicators but I'm unsure on how to wire it in I will use a on off on toggle switch,
Do the side lights need a relay on the brake lights?
Also do the wipers need a relay I will be wanting them on or off nothing fancy, and also the supply for screen wash pump.
I will be using a durite fuse box.
I've looked at a few wiring diagrams but none shw relays,
Thanks

im not sure its a requirement to have the rear fogs wired from the lighting circuit, the switch is independent on my car.
Consider revising the wiper circuit as you seem to be using 2 fuses for it at the moment.
The wiper circuit is that was as I have to have a low amp fused supply to the dash mounted switch and the maint fuse labels wipers is the fused supply to the relay. That's why all the switches that control relays are on that fuse.Consider revising the wiper circuit as you seem to be using 2 fuses for it at the moment.

Fair comment but you want to cause minimal disruption when a fuse blows, if that fuse blows then you loose quite a few circuits.Gassing Station | Home Mechanics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
