Auxiliary UTV Fuse Block makes wiring 12v accessories a snap

Autotrend EFI has designed an auxiliary fuse block that is perfectly sized for UTVs and takes all the confusion out of adding 12 volt accessories.
Many UTV owners add extra lights, but have no idea that the power for the lights is too high to be routed directly through a control switch.
It is important to not send too much power through a switch, and the proper way to do this is through a relay. A relay allows a very low current signal to control a very high current device. A relay can be triggered with an electrical pulse as small as 150 milliamps, but the switched output can be as high as 30 or 40 amps. Auxiliary headlights fall into this category.
The Autotrend EFI auxiliary fuse block comes with:
- 2 relay controlled 30 amp outputs (lights, heated seats, etc.)
- 2 fused 12v outputs (GPS, stereo, etc.)
- A hot lead that connects directly to the battery.
- Ground lead.
- Ignition hot lead for triggering relays
- Two leads that connect to accessory switches.
- Connectors and shrink tubing
The Autotrend EFI auxiliary fuse block has been installed and tested on Yamaha Rhino, Polaris RZR and Kawaski Teryx UTVs.
