Hi gurus,
I'm looking to tap into my accessories circuit, so I can run some work lights. Lights will be fed directly from the battery, and will be switched via a relay (and switch). The relay and switch will be fed from the accessories circuit to prevent accidental power drain.
As mentioned, load on the accessories circuit will only be a relay, so current draw is negligible. However, I may add more gadgets in the future that could also require switching via the accessories circuit. Could potentially have 2, 3, 4 (?) relays powering other items (still negligible current, really?). No plans in the immediate future, just considering my options to prevent re-working things at a later date.
I'm a sparky by trade, so no issues with the technicalities of things, really just wondering if there's a better spot to tap into than the stereo? I know the stereo might be one of the prime candidates to use, I just hate the accessibility where the loom is...
Information regarding other options or experience with similar projects would be great.
Cheers,
Dan
