heh, lots of gizmo freaks on here i see
im running power at this point. i didnt want to go digging around in the factory fuse system and trying to add thing that it wasnt designed for (especially after reading that some had issues with the tranny after adding remote starters-sensitive electrics.) Ive been this route before having completely rewired a few euro vehicles (may Lucas burn in hell for all eternity,oopps flashback ) Anyhow, i pulled a factory fuse panel at the bone yard from a nissan, trimmed the excess and bridged it into two sections, one for constant and one for ignition with six fuses each available for my add ons. And ive run a 14 gauge wire directly to the battery (ill probably add a voltage regulated capacitor later for "pure" power., havent gotten that far yet though. the new box is only about 2x5" but i havent found a suitable place to mount it yet that i could get too easily if needed, but thats still under the dash area someplace..the alternative is in the rear kick panel, but i really dont want to cut in an access hatch if its not absolutely necessary, and itll make for longer wire runs (less efficient and more weight, not to mention more of a pita).. And i still need to ad an ignition power source, havent figured that out yet either, but ill probably use a relay tripped by a key on circiut and bridge the 14 gauge as the "real" power source..
Off this fuse box i should be able to run just about any accessory i want, with no stress to the factory wiring.. And use smaller (lighter) gauge wire whereever possible to make my power connections.. ill probably also install a small aux fuse box in engine area as well for fogs and such later on.. the power ill need really isnt that great, but i didnt want splices all over ,or a dozen in line fuse add ons to deal with if one blows..harder to install, but much easier in the long run...
