Fuse box wiring - Positive supply
Currently for the additional fuse boxes I have each fuse has its own feed take direct from a single point. With the additional wires its a bit messy. I was thinking of replacing all the wires with one or two feeds into the fuse box
Starting off with the first fuse and then loop in and loop out to the next fuse.
Would this be a suitable method? 1999 Defender TD5 110

I fitted a 60amp in-line fuse off the battery and ran that to a single auxilliary Blue Sea fusebox. Ran in a spare cable at the same time in case of future additional circuit requirements.

See page 2 of this thread, pictures too..... Thumbs Up

I remember that post. Maybe a bit OTT for me. Like the idea of it though 1999 Defender TD5 110

You can buy battery terminals with mega fuses built in, from there take it to a fuse box with a common +ve and -ve rail, talk to Tim at MobileCentre, he's got a good selection of kit

As long as the wire is suitably sized, then yes there's no reason why that won't work. Darren

Looping in and out is 'correct' but really laborious and increases the possibility of a connection coming apart.

I too used the Mobile Centre Blue Sea fuse box (two infact), highly recommended Thumbs Up
