FULL WIRING SHEET 1 of 5 — POWER GENERATION, STORAGE & HEAVY RUNS (rev 3.32 — Option B: combiner on the BED board, sheet 7)
Every + run fused at its SOURCE (bus bar or battery terminal). Battery-to-battery trunk fused BOTH ends. Negatives NEVER fused. Pure copper only (CCA: upsize 1-2 ga + fuse to real ampacity).
GROUND = star: front - bus bar is the star point; ONE chassis bond front only (never bond the bed = ground loop -> audio whine + CAN errors).
LEGEND: red = +12V power (thickness ~ gauge) · black = negative/ground · orange = charge source · purple dashed = ESP32 control
