Switch wire like auxiliary switch? It’s not. If you’re referring to the huge fuse for the winches, the relay is used on that circuit just to make certain all those big wires aren’t powered until I want them to be.

What is this circled in green?

That’s for the cooled seats. 10/10 would recommend.

Are those Katzskins?

Yes sir. Got them in both broncos now. Had the upholstery shop upgraydde the foam in my seats while they had it apart and wow what a difference. They are now more comfortable than the recaros in my raptor pickup.

OH, lol. Got confused and thought those were the switch wires to Aux. This is making the sense now.

I could see how that looks like it ties into the winch relay.

Have the wiring diagram mostly figured out, now just finalizing wire gauges. This thread is very valuable.

Talking more about wiring size and peak usage, the winch is very different than say, an air compressor. Definitely upsize the wire to go heavier than needed for something that will run at it’s max output for extended periods of time.

How'd you end up fusing the compressor to the back? Through that 500A Class T? Or on it's own complete circuit?

It comes off the distribution block from the Class T but has it’s own 4G circuit too

Interesting. So the 500A relay "turns on" both the compressor and winch?

Yeah. Figured there probably wasn’t going to be a situation where I’d be running a winch at it’s max while also airing up tires

Kinda the same mindset as having both winches supplied from that same block. Even if both ropes are deployed there’s probably no chance I’d be actively operating both winches at the same time. Maybe to respool the drums but that won’t be drawing appreciable power.
