Re: Adding relays

When I added electric fans to my truck, I mounted the two relays underneath the core support triangle brace that's over by the battery. I secured the relays with the triangle brace mounting bolts. The relays are well hidden under there. I installed a little fuse panel next to the relays. That painless fuse panel with the built in relay looks like a cleaner solution than what I did.

I also ran a 6 gauge wire from the alternator to the battery and connected the other main system feed wires to it with a large crimp terminal in the stock junction location over behind the driver side headlight.
