New Subject line Another aspect of using the Surepower 1315 instead of the stock relay has to do with moving the internal accessory wiring over to the aux battery. The normal usual way to move the accessories over is to run an extra wire from the aux battery to the accessory fuse at the fuse block under the dash, pull the fuse (fuses depending on year) and provide the 12v to the non-hot end of the fuse holder. But when you install the 1315 there is a wire from the fuse block that WAS running 12v BACK to the aux battery relay. This can now be used to run 12v FROM the aux battery to the fuse block and avoid having to run another wire forward. BUT, at least in my case, this only worked after some other surgery on wiring at the fuse block, it was NOT straight forward. I'd still be trying to figure it out. But Paul Druzyk from BC was helping me and he knew what he was doing. So don't ask me for the details on this wiring change because I can't tell you exactly what was done. Paul labeled all the wires he changed and I'll be able follow it if I need to in the future but I didn't make detailed notes or diagrams at the time. Just pointing out that in the case of the Surepower 1315 the Elegance of Simplicity triumphs.
