Just going over my new fuseboard wiring and there's some things I can't remember.

Do the following things work on the "always on" +12v, the ignition +12, or the main relay feed (controlled by the ignition +12)? I've added in my answer, please correct it if it's wrong...

Windows - always on
indicators - main relay
wipers - main relay
mirror controls - main relay
speedo/brakes/reverse - main relay (is this really what this fuse does???)
instruments - main relay
cigar lighter - always on (does this control anything else)
heater - main relay
headlamps - always on
alarm - no fuse in the board (perm +12)
hazards - always on
central locking - always on
horns - always on

Thanks. It's difficult to check up now that there's just a bunch of wires & no fuse board!

Just got to figure out why there are 3 wires that can power each side indicator now. I presume "normal mode", hazards and old alarm?

It also amused me just how thin the window power wire is... It surely can't cope with more than 5A without getting hot! It's thinner than the stereo power wire FFS.
