Awesome man. Thanks for watching and good luck. Pretty straight forward.

On mine, the short primary power cable wasn't an issue, because I always install a large in-line circuit breaker between the unit and the battery. Common practice in high amperage installs. So I just snipped the end off the short cable that came with the unit, installed the circuit breaker, and then used a longer length of heavy gauge wire to run to the battery.

That's definitely a good call. I installed a breaker for my dual battery in the rear. Even though I'm only running across the engine bay I think that's a good call. I'm going to add one in

That is the same way I will install my fuse and relay box. A Stinger 75 amp breaker fuse and then 4 gauge primary wire from there to the battery.

I was thinking the same exact thing. Fist thing that came to mind was the outro to his vids

Just got the same model of Auxbeam Switch Panel in the mail from Amazon last week. Looks like a very well made unit, however, I would recommend a bead of silicone around the lid on the fuse box, and some rubber grommets between the mounting bracket and the body of the vehicle. Overall, I am very happy with the price, design, quality, and after watching your video.....the ease of installation!

you can always run a circuit breaker from the fuse panel and then you can use whatever length you need to go to the + on the battery terminal

Can I use the fuse tap on any fuse as long as its one that is off when the key is off and on when its on?

So the Acc wire is only for the light power when the vehicle is on? Would I just use an inlay spice then?

Great video and installation! I would put the power cables in some split plastic loom just to be safe, but that’s just me. Might be overkill.

@@EvergreenOverland I like the look of the plastic. It is also easier to install after you get everything mounted.

There seems to be 3 versions of this thing. One has a clear fuse box and comes with a fused link to the battery. It also has solid state relays. The other has a similar fuse box to this one, with solid state relays and a main power switch on the power cable to the battery. Then there’s this one, my least favourite cause it has those huge, old school relays.

The 8-switch panels have Solid State Relays, one has you accessory power wires coming out both sides and the other has you light wires on one side. They are both not waterproof, which is the advantage of the box for the 6-switch Relays. I bought if for that factor.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Question. Can this be use with auxbeams strobe pods? Or do I have to use the provided switch that comes with the pods? Wondering if the gang has the software to run the different strobe functions. Amber and white pods. Thanks in advance! New to the channel!

So are the fuses slot specific?? Meaning if I put a 20 in the 30 slot would it work?? Can you add more 30amp fuses?? If I only need a 15amp fuse can that be used in one of the slots??

You had the best video for this install, great idea on the rivet nuts. I was looking under the hood for about an hour trying to figure out where to mount. Now I got to buy the tool. What size rivet nut did you use? Enjoyed the video.

Do individual wires coming from the battery go to each circuit/switch. I would like to replace one source wire and tap in a highbeam circuit for my light bar that switches its own relay.

@EvergreenOverland

Only one wire from each of the positive and negative connection of your battery go into the auxbeam switch panel. From there it has the six different circuits that can go out. Not sure on the specifics of how it would work for your application though.

Where do you hook up the negative wires on the accessories like a light bar? From what I can tell you only plug in and screw down the positive wires. Am I wrong?

So how do the actual light wires feed into the panel? I got mine second hand and it looks like there’s only one hole per switch, so where do all the grounds go?

You can feed the positives to the panel and secure the grounds to anywhere on the frame. Any bare steel you can access.

As per Auxbeam the wire gauge for the 8 gang is 7 AWG. Does it mean in order to extend the battery wires I have to use 7 AWG wires for the Red and Black wires?

@EvergreenOverland

Жыл бұрын

Honestly depends on how far one is extending it. I don’t have the chart available to me but there are metrics online show how conductivity drops at what distance for 12v wiring. If I needed to only go a few more feet I would use more 7awg but if I was going a longer distance I might rewire all the way back to the unit with a larger gauge.

Ok, maybe I missed something. Does whatever you're hooking up to the relay box get both the HOT and GROUND wires hooking into it? Which of the screws gets the HOT and which gets the ground on the Auxbeam relay box? It's not labeled that I can tell and the included instructions don't make sense to me.

I ran a negative wire for my lights all the way back to the unit and grounded them out on the mounting bolt I used in the engine bay but honestly you could ground it out anywhere on the chase I'd think.

How's it working 11 months later?

Is that Acc wire just for the backlight on the switch panel? Or does it also limit the accessories to only come on when the ignition is on?

@EvergreenOverland

3 жыл бұрын

Correct on the second one. It controls when the accessories are powered or not. I guess you could hook it to an always on fuse for use when the vehicle isn't running, but the backlight to the unit would have a slow draw on the system. Thanks for watching Phill.

What I found it really depends on what amperage you use. I know the auxbeam have different amperage outputs for the different connections. My gut would be to use a 20amp or the 30amp output for your 12v socket, but it will really be limited more by the 12v socket plug that you get. I found a Nocco for 15amp. Not sure if there are others at higher amperage, but I would size the port you use on the auxbeam to whatever the maximum input of the socket is that you get. All that to say if I were doing that I would probably oversize it and do 10 gauge since you will have some voltage drop over the length of wire either way.

Each which is individually fused. I only have three of the fuses running any power through them but I can use all three no problem. I don't think it would be an issue as long as you don't exceed 60 amps draw Total and your fuses are sized accordingly. I would honestly message the manufacturer through Amazon and let them know what you're trying to run on it. I'm sure they could tell you 100% whether work for your application or not
