Help Wiring CB Radio

[Tone]

You do NOT want to tap into those wires as they transport signals (some digital) to the VX's computer. Easiest way is to get fuse taps at Radio Shack and piggy back on a micro fuse in the fuse panel on the side of the driver's side dash - the radio or cig lighter is good. Ground (black wire) can be any screw that goes into the steel body under the dash. Red wire should be fused and probably already on the CBs wire. The CB should also have basic instructions for connecting it.

I agree with Tone and the Bear, DO NOT tap wires. I did like Tone stated and ran wires to the fuse block (Driver's side, side dash) and used this:

"Add -a- circuit" By Littlefuse

(click the pic)

This allows you to tap into an existing circuit and keep the original amperage fuse for the circuit and an aditional small amp fuse for the accessory. You can find them at Checker, AutoZone, etc.

FYI, all of those wires that are covered in yellow tubing are part of the airbag circuit(s). Tread lightly around those.

I am glad to see that Scott and Tone agree with me on my diagnosis and wiring thoughts. Tread very carefully around wire bundles, take your time and good luck
