Distribution block

[Aron Gleason]

I'm redoing the wiring for my 12v key on power and for lights for my autometer gauges. I have a distribution block. 1 side is for 12v power and the other side for autometer gauge lights. Do I need to add jumper wires in order to get my gauge lights to work? Same with my 12v key on power wires?

Draw us a schematic.

Some store bought distribution blocks are better called terminal blocks because they just provide a place to connect wires. Other true distribution blocks usually have input(s) feeding output circuit with internal connection. I have also seen some (more correctly called fuse blocks) with only a single buss input that routes the output to the HOT side of fuses. The fuses then feed an output terminal.

Your block should be easy to sort out with a multimeter...
