Fuses And Relays

[gncgray]

I`m not right cracking with electrics so dont shout at me..lol

 

 

What type of relays and ampage fuses do I need for my Zero? It`s the Zetec kit with a GBS loom.

 

 

Many thanks

Forgot, what sort of battery do I need. Smaller the better I think.

Since no one else has posted up, I'll stick my neck out....

 

If you are buying a ready made loom, it will usually come with a fuse box included (at least, mine from Premier Wiring did) so that will sort the basics. If not then have a look at Grizzly's site - he added a lot of extra fuses and i'm sure I'm not the only one to crib his ideas

 

Basic relay needs - You will need a flasher relay (again, should be included in a loom). Headlights need a relay and it's usually a good idea to have one for radiator fan and horn. I also have one (70amp) for the ignition circuit. You can fit many more if you wish.

 

The relays i have used are the basic 4-pin relays with pins 85 & 86 (activating circuit) and 87 & 30 for the circuit to the component.

 

 

 

You can aslo fit a relay for the windscreen wipers if you wish, especially if you want intermittent wipers - it's a bit more complicated than the simple relay so you need the input of an expert.
