Been really busy lately so had no time for anything but I have been looking for a neat fuse and relay box for the truck just for everything that gets added, first requirement was a fused supply for the leisure battery on the 5th wheel, doesn't need a high amp fuse but wanted to fuse it before the split charge relay.
I was looking at a marine box but it was made in china and couldn't find anything with any more than 4 relay slots.
I came across a modular fuse box on ebay out of a Ford Mondeo (uk) its a U shaped bracket that holds 3 seperate fuse relay holders and there is also slots around the outside to mount more relays if needed, just so happens the mounting studs for the bracket are the same spacing as the 2 studs behind the trim under the cup holder. So I just used a Stauff clamp fixed nut to change from a stud to a deep nut, drilled 2 holes in the trim cover and I now have the bracket mounted,wiring is all done at the back and now i've just got to run a supply from the pdc and we are good, aux fuse box in the cab, I will find something to shield the ecu behind the trim from electromagnetic interferance to be on the safe side, each part of the box has its own lid there is 2 more but I think 1 will be plenty
