I'm a little confused here. Looks like two of stuff like fuel and water pump?
Remember that each of those relays has 4 terminals. You need 12 volts in, 12 volts from the switch to trip it, a ground and a wire to provide the power to the accessory.

EDIT Not two pumps, two relays. One looks like it's on the power side and one on the ground.

Yeah i think i have you confused because the symbol for a dc motor and a dc relay coil are the same. I will nomenclature them better to keep everyone from getting them mixed up

I'm interested in following this, so a new diagram would be appreciated. I wire stuff myself and always use too much wire but everything works. I make extensive use of relays.
Is your cut off switch external? If so the only way to kill power to that main distribution block is from the outside. There should be a master cut off within the drivers compartment to shut stuff down on one switch. I've used a push button 100 amp breaker - the big black things - for this. My main power now runs through a high amp continuous duty solenoid. A toggle switch activates it to apply power.

Snow slowed us down but we were able to wrap up the brakes lines this weekend.

We were also able to "seal" off the drivers compartment from the trunk. Now we will begin mounting/routing the fuel cell.

With the crazy cold temperatures rolling through, about the only thing I could do was get started on the wiring. You'll see I updated the print with some revisions. One in particular being a DPDT relay added to latch the line lock on for staging purposes and releasing once the clutch is released. This also allowed me to wiring in the burnout rpm separate from the launch rpm.

All electronics will be where the glovebox was.

Love this build! Those boxy Malibus are one of my favorite body styles - they make great-looking race cars - and the clutch pedal always adds several points to the cool-meter.

Can't wait to see this one on the track!
