Hey guys looking to wire up some accessories on my 21 rzr. Don't wanna run everything to the posts under the hood. What fuse boxes or bus bars have you guys home with?

What if you just put a relay in between the new cable from the battery and the ACC Fuse block. Then connect the relay to the ACC terminal on the RZR fuse block (orange cable) so when the key switches on it closes the relay and your ACC Fuse block will have power straight from the battery. Also might want a circuit breaker in there too.

If you have power to the hot side of the buss bar, then it sounds like you have an issue with the ACC post not supplying power when you turn the key on. Best bet is going to be grab you a multimeter like @Nearly_Missed suggested and take some readings. Once you have that you can come back and one of us should be able to help you pin point the issue.

Side note, did you check the fuse for the power block and make sure it didn’t get popped somehow while installing?

The fuse on the firewall behind the dash below the the steering shaft in a black box is probably blown.

Do you have a wiring diagram? It's time to start tracing out the wire, it has to either be a bad fuse, broken wire, or the key switch is not working properly. With a wiring diagram you can check to see what to check to track it down. Back feeding the signal like that is just asking for a dead battery if you leave it.

UPDATE!!!!

@Bowman89 @CrazyElecE @Jleedog

Thank you for all your help, jokes on me!

The fuse that powers ACC wire under the hood at the bussbar is not an Accessory... It is the fuse 10a labeled TERM!! I feel like an idiot 🤣. I tracked down the wiring diagram and followed the wire backwards, realized why interior lights come on when I jump the battery to the ACC post.. it all makes sense now!

Post 39 - RC3A OG/WH
Splice ACC Term Fuse Out
RC3B OG/WH to Terminal Block ACC (also powers RC3C RD/DG & RC3D RD/DG - interior lights)

my ride is a 2015 XP4 1K EPS so the fuse panel is under the driver's side rear seat.

I learned a lot on this journey, I may need to upgrade some wires that get warm when my light bar is on and downgrade some fuses to 15's or 20's to be on the safe side. Also, may eliminate the relays that came with all my lights, not sure if it will make for a more simple circuit...

Warm wires are usually a sign of loose connections or undersized wires.
