I am wondering if anyone happens to know how much amperage some of the stock components draw, really just haven't figured out Compressor, Blower Motor and Wiper Motor.
Head Lights - 5.46 amps
High-Beams - 7.82 amps
Tail Lights - 2.36amps (all lights)
Side Marker Lights - 1.08 amps
Turn Signals - 4.2 amps
A/C compressor - ??
Heater Blower Motor - ??
Rear Defogger - ??
Wiper Motor - ??
Rally Gauge Cluster - 1.73 amps
Reverse Lights - 4.2 amps

I ask because I am trying to calculate amperage draw. I am in the process of upgrading electrical system to support factory stuff along with electric fans and stereo equipment. I have already calculated what I need for the additions, 122.73 amps (750watt amplifier = 58.6 amps, 200watt amplifier = 15.63 amps, Head Unit = 4.5 amps, and dual fan relays = 44 amps). I really just want to figure everything out for knowledge base. So far with everything I know that can be running at once I came up with 151.04 amp draw. (Headlights, High-Beams, Tail Lights, All Exterior Lighting, Interior Lighting excluding dome and floor, all gauges, fans, and stereo equipment)
Any help or input is greatly appreciated
 
headlights are your biggest draw your cooling fans go on and off but with your stereo add on a 140 amp is alternator is ok think about a 120 to 110 though
 
I'm also trying to improve my electrical and need advice as to what is the resistance range for the fuel level gauge
