    What is best way to tap 12v ACC for multiple items/relays on FJ40

    Agreed, 100mA is nothing through the key switch (although relay is always active with the key). Maybe I misunderstood Matt's arrangement; I didn't see the relay there.. Late night reading..

    Exactly what he said. I wouldn't bother myself with a FL tbf, it's belt and braces. Hmm not sure that translates in US English? :/

    Sure, you can do it that way, but your 30A relay will be unprotected by a fuse unless you add one up stream. It will also be active continually whenever the ignition is on, regardless of whether your switches are on. Alternatively you could feed the new fuse box directly from the battery...

    What is best way to tap 12v ACC for multiple items/relays on FJ40

    Personally I'd tap a new waterproof fuse box directly into the battery connector to power things like extra lights, and just use the ACC to drive the relay coil. This way you avoid putting even more load through the ignition switch. The radio feed is a handy tap to drive just a few relays via...
