Fuse box/Wiring

[323IJOE]

Starting to dig into the electrical and wiring, The plan it to replace the old fuse box completely and have it remote form the engine compartment. Looking at the block now, I noticed that fuses 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 all have separate inputs as well as outputs. My new fuse block only has one common Input for power. Anyone have any experience with this? I haven't seen anything in my searching. So the plan for now is to trace back those inputs to see where they come from

 

thanks

SO going by this diagram heres what I got:

 

Fuse 2 input  - Red wire direct power from battery 

Fuse 4 input - Green wire from ignition switch 

Fuse 6 input - Violet wire from ignition switch 

Fuse 7 input -  Grey/black from ?(wire not on my fuse box)

Fuse 8 input - Grey/green from ? (wire not on my fuse box)

Fuse 10 input - Yellow wire from low beam relay

Fuse 11 input - White wire from high beam relay 

Fuse 12 input - Green wire Jumper from #4 to ignition switch 

 

 

So from what I can tell is that it shouldn't matter if I use a single power input Fuse block seeing as I am going to use a continuous duty solenoid tied into power on position from the ignition switch. Only issue may be I wont have flashers without power on ( fuse2 )

 

Someone please correct me if I am wrong on this, also is anyone knows where 7 and 8s inputs come from that would help too

Hi,

 

A fuse box that has one side gaged together won't work.  Better to get the kind with separate terminals so that you can replicate the schematic.  Plus, there are internal connections within the stock fuse box that you have to match.

 

Do you have a wiring diagram for the car?  That's your best bet for a safe conversion.

As Mr Healey points out this is way more difficult than replicating the existing fuse box inside the car. If the intent is to fully re-wire the car then... carry on. 

 

Remember, some circuits are fused and some are not, some run by the fuse box, some don't.

Threw out the original plan, bought a new fuse panel with independent circuits. wired it up today replicating the stock panel

Nice!

Nice attention to detail with the crimps, heat shrink and labelling.
