Short explanation of wiring in a relay.
- Wire high AMP wire directly from the battery to the accessory. Make sure the wire is of a high enough amperage. If you think it's needed wire in an in-line fuse at this stage near the battery to the "live" wire.
- Make sure accessory works.
- Cut the new live wire at a suitable point
- Relays are labeled differently, but connect these two cut wire ends to the "load" terminals of the relay.
- Find the switched live you want to use to power the relay. Run a live feed from this to the live "switch" terminal of the relay.
- Connect the ground terminal of the relay "switch" to a suitable ground.
