High Idle Mod help????????/

Hello,

I pulled a bonehead move. I have the wires in hand and am wiring up the relay to complete the high idle mod circuit.....The power wire from the dash area grounded and popped the fuse. I CANNOT FIND IT

Anyone have an ida which fuse it is or if it is hidded where I might find it?


Thanks

You don't, but I don't like to rely on a toggle switch alone.

The relay coils are meant to take the "heat" potential away from the switch....Kinda overkill but I have so many relays laying around....I figured why not.....it's only a few more wires.

Ok, I know this is an old thread but I don't want to start a new one and stir everyone up. But I was looking at the second diagram with the relay, and I figured I'd wire it safe and put the relay in there myself. But I have no idea about relays. Is the relay in the picture a 5 terminal or a 4 terminal, and what amp is it?
