I apologize for my ignorance in advance.
Looking at the 12V Power Strip guide on FJRtech.com , I have a concern and am kindly asking for guidance. I'm really a neophite when it comes to electronics, so, sorry if this is elementary. In looking at the instructions, it listed the 8-position jumper as one of the parts needed, but, didn't say what to do with it. I'm guessing it is used to connect one whole side together so that the top would be positive, right? Using that same logic, do you do the same for the ground side? If not, what do you do with the grounds? Common sense tells me that you don't want the positive and negative ends touching each other, right? So, and here's another dumb question - if you jumper all the positives on one side of the block (assume I have the same block as is in the instructions) and all of the grounds on the other side of the block, how do you keep the circuits from shorting out when there is a metal plate that connects the 2 screws in each of the positions on the strip? On a related note, I saw this diagram on another site and the directions for what gets connected to each position on the relay differs from the directions in the link above and I don't know if that matters. Does it? Are there any flaws in this diagram? Thanks in advance. http://www.canyonchasers.net/shop/generic/...agram-final.jpg -------------------- IBA# 23585
