Hello All

I have a quick question concerning best practice for installing keyless entry/ alarms with external relays. My particular system a Commando Keyless Entry System (KE-30) requires 3 external relays. For Dome Light, Horn Output, and Trunk Release( Which iam goin to wire into a tail gate lock.) These Relays all require +12volts so i was wondering how the best way to suppuly the power need to run these relays. Since i will get asked i am installing this in a 2002 Ford Ranger.

1. Can i run a Power Feed Directly into the cab from the battery junction box. and Tap all 3Relays into this feed or do i have to run a separate feed for each relay

2.. If yes what would the best gauge wire to use and should i fuse it , what size fuse should i use if so?

3. The relays are Bosch 20/30 AMP 5- prong relays.

You really dont need to go directly to the battery for power. Just use a 10 gauge wire to power all three. You can get power for all three at the ignition harness but make sure that you put a fuse in line with them. You should be safe with a 10 amp
