Been using those cheesy little fuse tap thingies that goes between the fuses and their socket. The PO started it to run the radio and I continued it for my additions but it has always bugged me. I can never keep it straight which one goes where and it looks like a hack.
I have mounted a second 6 slot fuse panel on the passenger side inner fender for constant battery like for lights but would like to do another for keyed power for the radio, fuel pump, tach, choke...
What is the "proper" way to tap into keyed power? All I want to do is get it to run something heavy duty like a starter relay to turn on the second "keyed power fuse panel" so I don't have everything running through my keyswitch, just the relay.
