The goals -
1. Move all accessory the fuses to one location.
2. Reduce or eliminate all in-line fuses.
3. Location must not require removing anything to access or visualize.
4. For best circuit protection, locate nearest to the battery.
Sub-goals -
1. Move cruise control
2. Move & replace over-ride fan switch
3. Identify & number all circuits
First gut it and mock up the wiring, labeling as I went.
(note Rossi the cat; it's my belief that cats have a special gene that allows them to locate the MOST valuable property in any room and then proceed to occupy it)
The plan on paper.
The resources.
First - ground everything.
Inside the copper, the entire wire cluster is soldered as one unit and that it soldered to the inside of the copper after crimping it.
Next create a common hot bus bar.
Mounting location.
Test wiring new fan switch using an LED in place of the fan.
Pull all the hots to the new location.
And bundle them.
Install new fan switch and relocate CC.
To put the CC there I had to cut ALL those tiny wires, cut a hole in the dash, pull they thru and solder them all back together. (yes, the system still works)
Completed system.
Glow fuses will be installed later this week, grease will be applied to connectors and the wires need a little cleaning up. I spaced the system off the coil pack by 1cm. I still need the make fuse block labels.
Three inline fuses remain; 1 for J&M, 1 for CC & 1-30 amp from the battery to the fuse blocks.
I didn't blow any fuses in the fuse blocks and only one when jump charging from the truck but that happens when one reverses the polarity of the jumping cables.

Scott, is this right...
I only wired 2 things wrong. One, I somehow bypassed the switch for the dash LED. Two, I managed to tie in a wire that was used prior to the re - route that was not needed causing a feed back loop making a few things to stay on all the time.
Anything else?

Other than the tell-tale light that wouldn't go out, and the stock wiring between the fan relay and the fan, that was about it.
Nothing that would stop you from riding it like you stole it..............

Gwen: Why do you have a 30 Amp breaker feeding 100+ Amps of uses?

Hello!
I don't buy it! I can't just can't believe that the cat did all that wiring and went just for a nap after wards. Especially without putting back all the fairings  .
Awesome wiring, I'm about to clean up powering for my GPS and trip meter , so I have some example to follow.
Best regards,
