<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><br></div>Remember that there will be multiple buses which can be shed or cross-linked. I know zip about the Sabreliner but even our baby J41 has 5 (maybe 6?) buses. A very basic 737 has eleven. So, the wiring won't be as simple as you might like.<br>
<br></div>From my limited experience - the battery master does indeed operate a relay but then the battery power is fed to the bus controller which is likely another box full of relays hidden away somewhere.<br><br></div>
Also, not all the gubbins in the cockpit will be fed from the same bus. Essential vs Non-Essential items, left or right side, there are many permutations.<br><br></div>Test meter out... and lots of patience!<br><br></div>

multimeter and a cable checker/sound'r-out'r and tried figuring out the<br>
wire routing for cockpit power. I am a little perplexed...as far as I<br>
can tell, none of the wires going to the battery master actually exit<br>
the cockpit directly. Do aircraft normally have only a relay connected<br>
to the battery master switch? I would think that at least the common<br>
lead should trace out to the wire going to the negative terminal of<br>
the aircraft's batteries. I assume I need to dig in the forward<br>
nose/avionics bay some more for relays or terminal blocks.<br>
<br>
I want to use as much of the plane's original wiring as possible. Any<br>
particular pointers you guys could offer in tracking down the power<br>
delivery circuits to the cockpit? The wiring diagram for the entire<br>
plane from Sabreliner Corp is over $700.....a little more than I can<br>
spend when I am trying to save up to build a shop for this thing this<br>
summer!<br>
