Relays - how many??

hogster · #1 (**permalink**) 10-24-2008, 04:04 AM

Well, I am up to my elbows in wiring, just routing loom segments and fitting out a dummy dash.............

What circuits should I run relays for.

I have a combination of two harnesses. One specifically for the Massflo-efi and an EZ2wire 20 circuit. I have stripped out the double ups from the 20 circuit but I need to plan which to run relays for.

I figured ....but I really am not sure

Lights - should I run 1 for high and 1 for low
Fuel Pump
Horn/Flasher is built into harness (the only relay)
Fan - controlled by EFI
Start circuit
Wipers
Stereo Amp
Demister fans

Does anyone know of a good reference for info on how to do these type of things, I just don't have $4K for a sparky.

Thanks again
Hogster

A good website can be like gold at crucial times in a build. For Ford harness and accessories wiring this one was fantastic: http://fordfuelinjection.com/?p=1

Hogster I was told to use two relays for the lights: HB and LB
