There is one fuse in the entire car and it is for the electric power steering. All other power distribution/management is done by the ecu digitally through the PDM. The nexus eliminates the need for fuses/relays.
The PDM is pretty neat stuff, you can set the ecu to turn items off after so many trips in a timeframe, length of fault, etc. That information can be sent to the dash notifying you of the issue. Makes for a much cleaner install.

Got it started last night. Still having some hydraulic issues. For the life of us could not get the mk60 abs nor the hydraulic throwout bearing to bleed. Rather than continue to bump our heads against the wall I pull it on the trailer to regroup. Have to be missing something in the bleeding process for both.

Where did you find the Hood / Cover / Mount for the AIM dash? I just ordered the 10" display with the PDM32, wonder if they make such a thing for that? & since I'm asking...Where did you get the switch panel? I'm gonna need to get one of those too. Great looking build! Thanks for the info.

the switch panel is a haltech setup, ordered through Blake at bluegrass race electronics.

OP, following your build closely, I just put a PDM in a Miata, not nearly the attention to detail this has, looks great, keep it up.
For the most PNP application, you'll want a Blink Marine keypad, sold by AIM or Blink Marine. AIM has a standard protocol in their calibration software for either a 8 button or 12 button keypad. I've done 12 buttons on the 2 PDMs I've installed, which is great for setup, but honestly once you're finished wiring and programming, you can let the ECU or other sensors turn on power outputs. Like using GPS speed to activate ABS, cooler pumps, etc.
