Upgrade

It’s time to change some wiring. I plan on going to a different relay to allow me to add some more circuits. General tiding up of wires. I plan on running a 30 amp relay witch should handle all my add on’s. I will put a 30 amp breaker to supply it. My question is what gauge wire is needed for hand warmers and what amp fuse? What gauge wire is needed for Rigid lights and what amp fuse?

Rocket Rides a Dead Grizzly

Thread title courtesy of smart azz wgc :happy:

Was out on a ride and almost back to the truck. Went ahead and stopped with some other riders but I didn’t stop the engine. The the engine just stopped by itself. I tried restarting it but there was an obvious electrical issue, no power. The voltmeter I installed dropped down to 6V and then started climbing back up to 8 something volts. Grizz still wouldn’t start.

Got it home and immediately found what caused the issue

That is easy to take care of, a resplice and add a wiring cover for protection. However, I’m still faced with a dead Grizzly.

I have tested all fuses for continuity and all of them are good. Relays tested for continuity:

Starting circuit cut-off relay
Fuel injection system relay

I have taken off and opened the handlebar left main switch and found nothing that would cause concern. I did finally test it and has continuity at least on the kill switch wires. I have one on order but don’t believe it will solve my problem.

I am still getting low voltage to the 12V accessory plug, about 8V. It is leading me to believe there is a short somewhere that ultimately feeds the 12V plug. I have yet to find that short but there is such a tangled web of wires, some mine and some OEM, that it is troublesome trying to find this short. I also do not know yet what is feeding the 12V accessory.

I have to run off to work so I won’t have time for further testing until this evening.

Auxiliary Outlet amperage

Morning,

I was wondering (couldn’t find the answer by searching), how many amps is the Auxiliary outlet designed to carry?

I have already tapped into it for the my Terra35 winch and I want to tap into it for the Dual Zone Heat Demon grips.

Anyone have any input on this? I just am not ready to jump into putting a fuse box in yet, but I also don’t want to overload that circuit. I can foreseeably see the winch and the grip warmers to be on at the same time.

Thanks
