Waterproof Fuse Relay Box (WFRB) Install and Review

Pop quiz, hotshot. (Hopefully some of you will catch the "Speed" reference.) You have several lighting or other vehicle accessories that you need to get wired into your vehicle. You need fused power sources, and you need relays and switches. What do you do?

Well, you could install individual wiring harnesses and have a spaghetti-like mess of wires crawling off of your poor battery. You could also spend $400-$600 for a high end solution, such as an SPOD or Switch Pros setup. Or, if you're like me, you might just be happy with a lower priced, but well thought out system....such as can be found in the Waterproof Fuse Relay Box. What is it? Well, it's named fairly appropriately. ;-) According to the maker of this little gem, "Waterproof Fuse Relay Box is the best option to control your accessories and clean your messy vehicle wiring for a low affordable price!" I think I'd have to agree with that statement....

  1. How much wire did you have to add to get to switches for the center of dash? Also was the length of the battery cable long enough stock or did you have him add wire to be able to get to same area under hood? I read your review and think you did a great job! Got that Jeep looking good!

  2. Hi there! great review! This might be a dumb question but who made this for you and where can I buy one? I was going to take a deep breath and tackle this project myself but I really like the cleanliness of this setup.

    +OVERCLOCK3D - CPO - , would you mind explaining which was the dimmer cable you used in the passenger side? (3:43 into the video)... I have a 15 JKU which would most probably have the same wiring as yours, so wanted to pick your brain on it if you dont mind... Thanks in advance!!

  13. lucky you, I had to drill in 2 screws to hold in the Daystar switch panel to the dash. very common with these panels if you check out the forum's.i have a 2013 2 DOOR.

  14. Thanks for the video. Question: What do you do for the grounds for the lights? And what do you do with the grounds for the switches? Diagram looks like only power is going to either from the fuse box, so just wondering how you handled the ground in each case. Thanks.

  24. Overclock3D please conform whom to procure this from? Specifically, who can I speak with to order longer leads? Thnx!

  25. I have this but have yet to install it because frankly I do not know how to route the cable inside the cab? Where is the entry point thru the firewall on the JKU 2016 ?

    ReplyDelete
  26. so your jumping a "always hot" fused line and using that to jump to each switch to power them? that will work? Im doing same in my land cruiser Now.

  27. Do you get any parasitic drain on your battery by having all your switches (which I assume are illuminated) hooked to the 12v constant?
