No cause as soon as to go from any terminal on the batter to ground you get 24v. It must be off one battery and only light loads. It causes uneven draw from one battery and will damage it over time.

Yup wildchild nailed it! 2nd alternator is the way to go. I don't regret it one bit. All my accessories are ran off of it. I have my federal signal light bar whidraws about 40 amp when all lit up and all my led work lights too. I run a power invertor off of it when camping as well. Plus my 600...

Oh got ya. I just want to replace the push button switch with a key switch.

Here's the right way the alternator should be wire.... really not a 1 wire at all..... it can just be setup that way.

Nothing my schematic is the same as yours for the exception I messed up where the signal wire should have went. It should go to the switch on the key. The other thing is I don't want to take out the master switch from the 24v circuit. I'm not going to leave the truck on for any reason unless...

Ok so I quick drew this on my note 3. Now of course the 24v signal wire would come from the old push button starter and go into the battery terminal on the ignition switch. From there I would run the 24v signal to the relay from the accessory side eliminating the need for the 12v override relay...

Isn't that the point?

That's what I was figuring the relays where for. That's a good idea. I'm going to be putting a keyed ignition switch in the truck instead of the push button starter switch so I can use the acc side of the switch to power the relay for the 12v system. I'm going to be using a Ford 3g alternator...

A few questions here what is the relay setup for? If I add the 12v alternator which I plan on doing can I use the vehicle ground for the 12v system? Wouldn't that interfere with the 24 system?
