Here is a pic that may help.

^ there you go, thanks Sean.

and Noroad- start planning ahead for your use of the switches- you have 6 switches, but the relay panel is for 5.
use the 5 for the obvious heavy consumers of current draw- the 6th switch could be for a horn, or esp kill switch, etc.

MY sixth is going to be an ARB air and i believe they have everything you need so the 5 relays should do it for me 3 lights and 2 lockers!!

is the 50 amp what the big wire from the battrey goes to??
 
Thanks for adding that pic Serg.

Yes- noroad- the 8 gauge power wire will go from the positive post on the relay panel, then to one side of the circuit breaker, and the other side of the breaker goes to your positive battery post.

Ok so heres the run down to see if im learning. the cicuit breaker goes on to the box where? the bussman box has 2 bolts at bottom left is positive? right negitive? Now with relays and using your post = the switch tops are all ground, Brown wire goes right to accessory positve, white wire goes to the bottom of the switch, and green goes to middle of switch (power), also grounds can be piggbacked and so can the power (green to middle switch)???
 
Slow down, read the writeup a few times, unfortunately my wire colors in the pictures don't match this layout, but you will hopefully understand when look closely.

the ground from the switches can be tied back to the ground on the relay panel, and then ground it to the chassis of the jeep. Run 7 wires from relay panel to switches (1 for each relay input from the 5 switches, one for power input from fuse 6, and one for ground)

the circuit breaker replaces the Fuse on the layout, connected to the battery.

I must have read this thread abot a dozen times before I even made the purchase then another 3 or four times before starting. Once I did start builidng it the thread was on my iPad for reference. After the first realy is done the rest will go really easy.

ok cool i pretty much have it all down, the circuit breaker is the last question it just needs to go between the battery and bussman. is this a different type in the pic the blue wire?

^ that's a fuse holder and fuse, the circuit breaker will take its place. Either way will work, however fuses have to be replaced if they blow. The circuit breaker will reset once the problem has been resolved that caused the overload or short.

Ok so both are in that location but the fuse is not as good as the circuit breaker
 
Both are not in that location, it is one or the other.
Circuit breaker is better because you don't have to replace anything if it trips.

sorry for the wording ya only one of the two goes there thanks for the help, if i want to set it up for all switches that are not ready can i just leave the missing switches relays out??
 
Yes, or not plug in the output if you use the female insulated quick disconnects coming out of the relay panel.

ok so for example i want bumper lights i have the switch i want to wire that up with the rest but i do not have the lights can i wire that up and just leave the wire that is going to go to the futur lights positve wire capped off??
 
^ see the picture above. Those female insulated quick disconnects (Blue plastic things on the end of the wires :D) are the output of the 5 relays. You do not need to hook them up until you have an accessory to actually hook them up to.

Lets just say Pvan is a very patient person. He helped a knuckle dragging mech get through the process, me. :yup:
 
Mannnn too bad electronics and I do not get along. Ill probably wind up mounting lights and hooking them up wrong so they light up when I turn my stereo on accidentally. :cheesy:

Good thing my brother is an electrician!

Edit: that does not mean im getting an sPOD. Too spensive.
