Here's my DIY on wiring in a relay so my GPS and heated grips would turn off with the ignition.

Enjoy!

One note.. I thought about soldering the relay in, but then decided against it in case it fails, replacing a relay at home if soldered would be a pain, it would be impossible out in the bush. So female crimp connectors are the best option. Labeling the wires/connectors with their corresponding numbers wouldn't be a bad idea either if you plan on carrying a spare relay and wanted the ability to change it out quickly.


Oh yeah.. and a big thanks to Kev for pointing out the 12v power source under the seat, it works perfectly for providing switched power to the relay.

...and they do fail

.... and in the middle of the bush too......

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I've done something similar.

It's a squeeze but you can run the live from the relay to an auxilary miniblade fuse box and run each accessory via it's own appropriate fuse.

I went to these people http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.e...s/holders1.php

I have a little more room to play with as I've taken the snorkle out.

Good write up.

A huge thanks on this mate - I followed your advice on your post to fit the 12V socket with relay. I wanted to DIY it - ZAR400 for labour I could do myself. Went and bought as per spec all the parts.
Will post pics on http://mi-travels.posterous.com - not as neat as yours but everything working so you can have a look at your handiwork
Cheers

Why didn't you use the unused power source from under the seat and link it up to the GPS ???
