The switch is what sends power to the relay to tell it to close the high power circuit so your accessory turns on, that power can't originate from the relay itself.

The circuit breaker isn't strictly needed, but protects the rest of the electrical system from the non oem stuff you're installing.

Ah ok. I thought you just attached connector with all the red power lines directly to the battery.

Like I said, it's not strictly necessary and you could run straight to the battery, but it's safer to have the fault protection. You could also run something like a midi or mega fuse instead of a breaker.

That’s what I did went to the battery it’s got a fuse built in so I figured it was safe. Maybe other install methods could look a little cleaner but I only open the hood to do fluids and air filter anyway
