Second opinion on my wiring diagrams

I'm redoing the wiring on my Westfield this winter and have come to the stage where I'm about to start doing, rather than planning

My Westfield has the simplest of wirings, no ECU or other fancy gizmo's so it is all relatively straightforward. I've planned for 3x Savage switches (start, hazards and fan override), a Durite rotary switch (side, dipped and main lights), a Bright6 warning light module (left/right indicators, main beam, battery, oil and brake warning lights), 2 indicator buttons and a horn push on the steering wheel, and my existing gauges (fuel, water temp, rpm and speedo). Everything is driven by relays, and the loom in the car is left alone. I currently have no fog light, so you'll find this missing from the diagrams.

With regards to the indicators/hazards.

I think the relays and live feeds to the lamps is over kill and not needed. It will only add to the problems and make any fault finding that little bit harder in the future.

Apart from that I think the circuit looks fine.

Overkill maybe, but since I'm going to have everything on relays anyway, the two wont make much of a difference. And once I am done with it, there should be no faults!

Fair enough, if it were me though I wouldn't bother as its adding cost and another 2 items to go faulty, added complication with wiring for no advantage.

oh and the added weight, every gram counts
