Wires under the side cover

Under the right side cover there is two wires covered by a black boot. These wires are feed off of the acc. fuse in the fuse box. They are a green and a white/red stiped colors. My question is are they feeding anything else or do they come from the bow and dead end there? I cant tell as they are wrapped in the main harness.

It is an extra 12 volt accessory set of wires so you can hook up a GPS in my case.

Careful what you hook up to them, they're only fused at 5 amps.

Best bet is to use them to trigger a relay, connected to the battery.

good source to feed a relay for lights.
They are "switched"- hot with key on, so the lights will go off when the key is off.

I used it to trigger a relay that feeds an auxilliary fuse panel. That way all the accesories go off with the key.

Relays are good when they are needed. But to Use a GPS , a fuel shutoff, or even Led lights one is nott needed. It will take alot of led lights to get to five amps
