Basic Circuit info and diagrams.
Posted: Mon May 25, 2015 1:54 am
I regularly get asked for wiring diagrams and wiring info.
However - any queries, suggestions and corrections can be made in this discussion thread.

I must point out that I am not an auto electrician, nor am I an electrician of any kind.
My last electronics training was in 2004/5 doing my Electrical Engineering HNC.
What I am trying to say, is that these are my basic ramblings - I AM NOT AN EXPERT!!
First Basic Cavalier Switch Format.
These are wired / configured in 3 ways as follows: -
The main panel switches are listed below, along with their pin / wiring designations.
(For those who want to utilise a panel switch for a different function such as fan over ride or additional lights etc ).
Update - Here is the pin layout for the 5 main types of panel switch.
The coloured blocks represent the colour of the switch base insert.
Now then, most project circuits require a relay somewhere along the way due to current levels.
Here are three basic relay styles.
It goes without saying, but all power feeds to the relay should be fused - nothing worse than a car fire due to crap wiring. I speak from experience in my early days, where my whole dash set fire in my first car because I wired up an Ammeter with no fuse protection and insufficient wire size.
I will dig out my wiring sizing to suit current draw information in due course.
