My car has been having some electrical issues over the past year, and some have been tracked down and others have not. I was thinking of wiring the car completely new with my own setup. I would like to make the wiring as simple as possible, basically make the headlights, tail lights, turn signals, fuel pump, and engine turn on. We are trying to remove anything that isn't necessary in the car to make it lighter. can i wire the car and get rid of the relay board?, the car is carbed(if that makes a difference)

I was thinking of using simple SPST, SPDT, etc swtiches for the dash and wiring the car with those.

Has anyone wired up there autox cars to a more simplified version?

Extra wires? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

This is without headlights or turn signals, just brake lights.

The late Lapuwali was working on this, and had some good thoughts on the subject. Unfortunately James passed before he could complete his project. Here's one thread.
