Looking for some help on power distribution to the back end. No, not squats and lunges. More like 12 volts and fuse blocks and stuff.
I just picked up a Ham Radio and will mount it in the cargo area in cabinet back there. I also need a new 12v power outlet for my fridge, also living in the cargo area, but only on long trips. Maybe some other odd power outlets or lights in the future, but nothing else for now. Just running a single battery. No plans for a dual battery system.
I feel like for a clean install I want to put a 6 switch fuse block in the cargo area. The idea is to run just one set of wires to the back to a fuse block, and then split off from there so I don't need to run multiple pairs of wires all the way up to the front of the car.
Questions:
Can I wire up the Fuse Block to be powered up by the Ignition Switch? I only want the Fuse Block to have power when the key is on. I don't want the Fuse Block to have constant power from the Battery. Is there a specific Fuse Block that you'd recommend for this application?
Thanks.
