Hi. I just successfully installed an amp in the console of my 05' Wrangler with help from this site and others like it. Thanks.
I want to put a hidden aux input (cigarette lighter) to power my iPod inside the console using the remote turn on lead to switch the relay with the juice coming from one of the outputs on my 4ga to 8ga distribution block. I came across a FIAMM relay that came with an airhorn I bought for my first car like 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure it still works, it was never hooked up. Anyway, the diagram on the top of it doesn't resemble any that I've seen of a standard relay.

Does this mean that I can power two things?
30 12v input
87 12v output
87 12v output
85 trigger ground
86 trigger (remote turn on lead)
Any thoughts?

Yes, that relay has two power outputs. That is a special horn relay Fiamm uses to power dual horn installations.

Better check your remote turn on lead to see if its a +12v trigger, it may be a ground trigger. If its a ground trigger, you need to connect it to terminal 85.

yeah, the turn on lead is 12V+, I got it turning on my amp right now.
Thanks, for the response.
