A little bit more detail on the 12v system.

I started with a feed from the rear of the vehicle, to a distribution block with six posts. I made this from a bunch of ewaste. I then ran a feed from block 1 to another smaller block under the dash with 2 posts.

The feed hits a kill switch next to the ignition. I wanted to keep it separate from the main 36v system for now.

The headlights and horn system on on the front block (#2). The brake lights, and return switch feed from the brake switch land on block 1. Also there is another feed off block 1 for the stereo system headed back towards the dash. This isn't hooked up yet.

The brake system is a dual filament bulb. So the brake switch is hooked to the high filament.

When I hooked up power I only had two problems.

The horn circuit caught fire, it has dual terminals on the horn. It was the only wiring I didn't replace. It burnt to a crisp, but the kill switch worked.

In retrospect I should have used a 10amp in-line fuse to avoid the burn fest, also I suspect the ground on the horn is at fault.

For today the goals are to head to Radio Shack and find a new brake switch.
