Safe to run multiple sources from IGN?


Recommended Posts

I need to power two sources, each rated at 20amps max and each having their own inline fuse. Does the IGN port on the fuse block provide enough amperage to do this safely? If so, I plan to use a double spade connector. If not, what are your suggestions about the best way to wire/power these two sources?

Joe T called me and we talked through things and came up with what I think is a great solution.

  1. Use the existing heater fuse for one of the sources (since the original blower motor has been replaced by the new unit)
  2. Use the IGN spade for the other source

Viola! Thanks @jft69z!

It was great to talk to you again Bryan!

Another problem solved from the "Hot Tub" office 😁.

Can't wait to see you at Carlisle, this will not be an event to miss!

Another solution would be to run a new power source from the horn relay or starter and trigger a few relays using the ignition spade.

We talked about that Cody. He wanted to do the least amount of wiring mods possible, and since the original heater fused circuit was going to be available anyways, that's the path that seemed to work out well.
