Extra Fuse/circuit Thingy?

[Tony de Wonderful]

I think maybe I need some proper extra fuse box or something for my GTST now, as a I have a few aftermarket things all wanting power sources, and I found out the shop which put my boost controller in just got a live by wedging the wire in one side of a blade fuse which vexed me greatly.

So I need something a bit more 'professional'?

Any ideas? Sorry but my auto-electrical knowledge is shit.

Also anyone know why my indicators flash faster now I went to LED's and what can I do?

Solder to a wire instead of the wire insert(dodgy) method.

U can run boost controllers and gauges etc off an existing wire/fuse without issu's

my personal favorite: routing wires straight from the battery and a switch on the dash but you want something that looks semi professional. in which case relays are your friend! you probably already know what they are but ill say it anyways. a relay is basically an electronically triggered switch; it uses a little power to activate a switch that lets a lot of power through

i think your super fast indicators need resistors put in the works. LEDs have far less resistance than normal bulbs. so in theory, the ECU has noticed this and assumes a bulb is out, hence the fast flash. however i dont know what kind of resistor you will need. that will take some multimeter work and ohms law equations on your behalf

"electronic flasher unit"

these bad boys make the indicators flash at the same speed regardless of load. but you need to find yours and see how many terminals it has first so you get the right one

you can buy led load resisters. you just join one end into the indicator wire and the other end to earth. you will need one for each indicator with an led. you should.be able to get them from super cheap or just about any automotive store

not sure if the pin layout is correct though
