So i am trying to do the wiring for my Bussman fuse / relay box to connect my LED light bars, CB radio, winch, etc., but i am not knowledgeable enough about wiring. Anyone local that might be able to stop by this weekend and take a look and offer some suggestions?

I am not local but to bump this for you and to clarify, do you have a pre-wired busman box or and just needing input on which wires go where or did you buy the raw box and need all the fuses/relays/wires/water proof plugs/ terminals/mounting plate etc?
 
I'm in the general area. Booked up for the next few weekends and not familiar with the particular system of which you speak, however wires are wires and I don't find them complex nor complicated. One circuit at a time....

Perhaps we could work out a visit in the near future if you still need help figuring things out

Totally Local, but not your Local... lol..

Battery--> breaker--> fuse box.

If the light bar comes with the relay and harness it is pretty self explanatory. There will be 3 sets of wires coming off the relay. One set go to the bar (usually has a connector attached). One set will go to the switch (usually has crimp connectors attached to the blue, red, black). and last set (black and red) will attach to the fuse box.

If you just have separate relays and wires, then it may be a little more involved.

Winch and big compressors should be connected to the battery itself, or just the breaker, BUT NOT THE FUSE BOX (as that is more than the power draw that most fuse boxes can handle).

Thanks for all the replies.

yes, i have a pre-wired bussman and i need input on which wires go where. I was spefically concerned about the 12V ignition connection. I am guessing that there is another fusebox under the dash that i can use an add-a-circuit to for this, correct?

Thanks for the reply. I will have this taken care of within the next week i suspect.

Thanks for your reply.
yes, i was concerned about the winch and figured it may go straight to the battery. Actually the winch will be the last mod and still about 1 month away.

Have the same setup, haven't wired mine up just yet. Did you order this with switchbacks or will those need to be manually wired to the switches
