Another great informative video mate cheers from Downunder 🇦🇺

You always make things look easy. It would stink to go thru all the work fixing up a classic car and have it burn down from bad wiring job. Can’t wait for the next video. Stay cool

[@ashleyjessee5953]

Wow you explained things so simply.

[@patframpton6193]

Great video. Made it look simple. All I need is a classic car now.

[@yeboscrebo4451]

Excellent info. Thx for sharing

[@JaimeDstx]

Been waiting for a video just like this. Thanks so much. Next I’d like to see the budget fuel mgnt tips n tricks. Avoiding terminator X prices.

[@BrokenWrenches]

Terminator x isnt my favorite!!! High prices and overly complicated. Also have to purchase a lot of extra parts.

[@Stephen-ou4sy]

Very well presented, I hate Scotch locks and I don't use those colored crimp on connectors, personal preference is to use clear covers on solder type male and female connectors. Thanks for posting

[@Thatpropertylife]

Excellent video, very well explained and at a good speed to make it easy for the DIY'er to understand.

[@BrokenWrenches]

@@Thatpropertylife thank you for watching

As a long time builder of Hot Rods may I say that your video is the BEST one I have seen on KZbin. Very clear instructions which I am sure will help a lot of novice (and seasoned) car builders and DIYers. Well done !

[@jakobglassstories]

Thank you very much. Just saved me a ton of money hiring someone to replace my entire fuse box. I did not even think to just add one. Thank you!

[@BrokenWrenches]

easy and customizable to suit your needs, also super cheap.

[@kimberlyferrier1312]

this was exactly what i needed. thanks. i am converting a chevy express box truck 1999 that was sort of converted to an RV, but not well. I was a little crazy when i bought it, thinking ....great, it has all kinds of great stuff, lithium batteries, two solar panels, charge controller and everything. i pulled all the solar stuff out until i can know what I am doing. it is kind of like a money pit house. anyway, i added a camera and a back porch light and I've been running these accessories from my power station. i was trying to figure out how to run all my other 12v house stuff and this camera and light. you saved the day. i have some weirdness going on with my turn signals and my sort of fancy but very cheap radio. the radio no longer works but i haven't checked the fuses. the turn signals sometimes blink continually like a bulb needs replaced, but if i hit the emergency flasher button, i can get it to stop and the turn signals work. i don't know what kind of mess i am going to find if i start looking around. any advice on that problem??

[@BrokenWrenches]

many times it’s corrosion in the light bulb sockets or bad grounds.

[@petefromhillcountry3268]

Thanks for tis video. I'm adding some things to my '66 Chevy and this will help out a lot to get me there safely. I'll be sure to check out your other videos too.

[@jesusoalvarez4204]

Excellent instruction video. I'm SUBSCRIBED.

[@BrokenWrenches]

thank you so much

[@NWPencrawler]

Excellent video. Clear and concise. Thanks very much. This will work perfect for my classic Ford truck wiring.

[@Nothanksyoubro]

This video is great, and catapulted the hour of wiring videos I just watched at 2am.. great and informative video, so much so I screenshotted your diagram and workspace and went back and forth repeatedly..

[@davidkoronka]

This was really one of the most informative videos I've seen. I just acquired my 60 starliner been looking for quite a while for a clean one. But anyhow will that video explanation work for putting in four power windows add an electric fan? Or do I need to make a bigger plate and add more relays?

[@BrokenWrenches]

starliner is an amazing machine… you can make modifications to the design to suit your needs. this panel design gives you a place to run all your switched power circuits to a central location that is fuse protected. what you will want to do is mount a relay in the engine bay for the fans and use this panel to control that relay. you can do the same with power windows. you will find a setup like this very helpful on your starliner.

[@AlanMowers]

It doesn’t seem as though that feed wire is enough to handle 10 A for a fuel pump maybe up to 30 A for electric fans and whatever vintage air kit will take. How would you work around that?

[@BrokenWrenches]

on a high amperage load like electric fans or a fuel pump you would always run your power wire to a battery post ideally and use this panel to control the switched side of it.

[@freshbutplain1144]

Instead of running the grounds back to the box could I just ground the wire to the frame or sheet metal and just run one power wire to the box?

[@BrokenWrenches]

@@freshbutplain1144 it’s customizable based on needs. if you have a good ground source nearby that is fine. you only need one power wire to the battery, make sure it has an inline fuse near the battery. you need a separate power wire that is controlled by the ignition switch, this triggers the relay to power up the acc panel.

[@aml3961]

Really like the simplicity of the explanation and method but I cannot find these parts on the internet ??

[@BrokenWrenches]

many of these parts or ones nearly the same can be bought through bumper to bumper or oreilly auto parts…. thanks for watching

[@mariochevelle6876]

Great video!! Question should I move everything to the new panel or just add it to the existing panel ??

[@BrokenWrenches]

i primarily just put accessories on these. that way you don’t overload the factory car wiring.

[@shredted]

Can you run a similar setup with a 6 volt positive ground?

[@BrokenWrenches]

@@shredted yes you can. generally speaking electricity doesn’t care which direction it flows. just would have to make sure that the relay you buy can operate on 6v.

[@stevemullin7472]

Great video, I learned a lot! I see fuse block options w/ the grounds also on the fuse block. Any reason you prefer not to use those style?

[@BrokenWrenches]

thanks for watching and commenting. I use slightly different methods/parts based on applications. most classics only need a few extra circuits and can run simple systems. some vehicles have power everything including modern drivetrain swaps that need much more work/thought put into the electrical systems. another factor is the age of the vehicle. by around 1970 most vehicles had fairly well designed electrical systems that can easily support aftermarket electrical equipment whereas a 1950’s vehicle has virtually no capacity to support anything else other than stock parts. these vehicles need standalone systems like in this video…you simply cannot overload an electrical system of an old vehicle. a system like this is fully isolated from the stock system and is also fused appropriately to prevent any problems.

[@stevemullin7472]

@@BrokenWrenches Thank you for the reply. I think I may have asked the question poorly. Let me try again. When looking at fuse block options for my build I found fuse locks like you used and the same fuse block that also has a ground connected and a few ground terminals. Does that make sense? I can't find anyone talking about why they'd choose one over the other. In my mind it's a matter of grounding the accessories at the fuse block or ground them elsewhere on the vehicle, but again I'm not sure of the pros/cons of those options.

[@559FRESNOESF]

Thank you for this video i just got myself a 64 impala and ordered a new accessory fuse block after watching this im pretty confident ill do it right 💯💯😎 gonna watch a couple more times n take notes to be sure
