Aux Lightbar without the High-Load Panel

[Telemark]

I’m looking for someone to sanity-check my wiring plan.

My Quartermaster does NOT have the high-load auxiliary switch panel. I installed the Ineos cross-bar light bar (given to me), which needs a 25-amp circuit. My idea is to use Aux Switch 1 (rated for 10 amps) only to trigger a 30-amp relay, and then run a dedicated power feed to the relay with a 25-amp fuse for the actual light bar power. Does this wiring approach make sense? Not sure how I run the power to the rack yet, that I will figure out later. Appreciate any thoughts on this!

Welcome to QM club and that make sense. I have aQM and live up near Seattle.

I asked my local auto electrician how easy it would be to add more accessory circuits if I bought a base Grenadier while I was looking for a replacement. He anticipated that the Grenadier would be easy as he could use a mixture of generic and OE parts to do almost anything. He would have used the factory wiring paths as that would be simple and not require holes drilling.

Thank you, these things will be great for the winter and forest service roads in the Cascades.

Thank you Jeremy and good to know. I think I can wire this one easily.

My guess is the wires to the roof outlets could be in place. Be worth having a look behind the grab handle cut outs and seeing if there are wires present. Or there might be a separate wiring loom associated with the high load accessory switches.
I suspect is most of the added cost of this add on is due to the 400A high load winch wiring, and not the roof cutout wiring.
