I orginally did this thread on the first incarnation of this site. But since a lot of members didn't see it there I'm copying it to hit board now.
The wiring for the plow on my 88 S10 has been in place since 1996. There was enough corrosion on all the connections that I thought it was best to pull everything off, clean the connecting points and put it back together with heavier and shorter cables wherever possible.
The S models have this bowling ball sized vacuum reservoir on the left inner fender. Right in the middle of the available space. I needed to have room for a serious junction post, two high amp circuit breakers, a solenoid and a ground junction. This is what I came up with.
From right to left there are mounts for the vacuum cannister, the plow solenoid, a 100 amp breaker for the spreader, a 150 amp breaker for the plows (this truck is wired to carry a pull plow as well) and a marine grade junction post. Near the top center is a stud where all the grounds will come together
