12v with key on

Because I now have everything under the. dash (to clean up the engine compartment) I now run a 10 gauge wire from the starter lug to a 30 amp circuit breaker mounted down low near the frame but easily reachable and then on through a rubber grommet to the starter relay lug. It is important to protect the feed wire with a circuit breaker or at least a fuseable link.

Good approach. Sounds as though you don't have the ammeter in place either which is an issue with pulling power at factory starter relay location.

Nice panel and good for powering accessories, etc. Troubleshooting is so much easier when everything is in one spot!
