wow subscribed also.

My questions are cause I know nothing about wires and electrical work. I seen 9 wires coming off the block. Yet in the beginning you show 4, what are the other wires for? Also you said something about the red wire, but I dont understand, and you said nothing about the purple wire.

Also do you have to ground the block? how many and what kind?


The wire colors mean nothing right? just easier for identification of the different uses?
you said connectors to connect to the block

Also want to see how its mounted.

Sorry for all the ??????? but thank you so much!

Here's mine:






The blocks fits underneath the panel without issue. I'll take more pics when I have everything back together.

You need to update this. You need to use ATM fuse adaptors, not ATC. I bought all ATC and they are too large for the fuse box. The stock fuses are all ATM.

P.S. you owe me like $20 for wasting money on ATC items.

Can someone quickly clarify why 8 wire are plugged in on one side while on the other there are only 3. My electrical/electronic skills are ZERO as far as i'm concerned.
