Switched Power Source, 2001 dragon

[Dragon4056]

Hey Folks, Opinions on a switched power source for my new Audiovox CCS-100 cruise. I'm already utilizing the accessory circuit for the belly tank fuel pmp and the dan-marc fuel shut off. Dan-marc pulls approx. .75amp and fuel pmp about 1 amp. the access. circuit is fused at 5amp. Yes, I know I could probably use the access. circuit for the cruise also, just thought there might be a better switched circuit. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The control for the servo is what needs the switched circuits (2 of them) and I'm not sure how many amps they will draw. Still waiting for the cruise unit to be delivered.

I use the accessory circuit to trigger relays, and all my stuff is hooked (through
a circuit breaker box) to the battery...

Get a relay activated & fused power distribution strip. Mine has a 40amp relay activated off the accessory leads, is fused, and has a number of connections coming off it.

What they said.
Activate a fuse panel from the accy. lead through a relay.

Ok, great idea. Where did you guys locate this fuse strip?

Easter Beaver makes a very nice compact fuse panel.  Has both switched and unswitched connections.  Comes from Japan but he has very fast shipping.

I finally submitted to putting mine where the toolkit goes.

I was shown the most awesome installation of a fuse box at
The Fall Color Ride in Robbinsville NC a couple of weeks ago.
The fellow had a hinged plate behind the right side cover,
all his stuff was on it, and it could be flipped up to see all
the OEM stuff.

Open the link and take your pick. Local auto parts places stock them also.
