What can I fit to the Vitara to run all the accessories through, instead of keep adding to the battery positive terminal.
-
What I ended up using was a fuse block from a local auto parts store.
It has 1 main wire that goes into it and 6 fuses that go out.

How much does one of those run?

If I remember right. It cost me 8 bucks and that was a few years ago.
I picked up a spare one planning on using it on the 4dr. ;D

That is a really good idea. I will have to remeber that.

I have a buncha lights that I wanna power properly on my rig. Driving lights, rock lights, extra back-up lights.. I also want to be able to power additional accessories, like a lil air compressor for my diesel horns! ;D I have a few things in mind I wanna add.
I burned out one of those 'cheap' Pepboy lighting solenoids that cost about $10 now. I bought a bag of 10 heavier duty 30A solenoids on eBay for $10 instead. These are the square black ones that come with most of the starter-fix kits and off-road light kits.
I don't have space to mount solenoids and string wires all over under the hood. So I am building (planning and acquiring parts) a board (thin fiberglass) upon which I will mount several relays and maybe some extras too. I will have a powered terminal strip, a switched-power strip, a ground strip, and a strip for the output from the solenoids, plus a terminal strip to connect the signal lines for the solenoids. I guess I have pert near everything. I have a coupla fuse blocks, one off of an RV, one off of my spare Sidekick. I have some of those circuit breakers that plug in like fuses. I have a tin-top rear window defroster switch for a master switch to the panel. I guess I have most everything except not enough switches. And I prolly have those in boxes somewhere. Also I thought I would build a small board to mount under the radio or somplace with the toggle switches on it.

If you have a bunch to do, it might be easier to use something like this. They also have weather resistant versions. Not the cheapest option, but the quailty is outstanding.

I have not done it to the tracker but my land cruiser has two extra fuse bloks one is hot always, one is hot in the run position only. I do not like to add to the factory block unless there is an empty spot. Just my $.02. :)
