Thread: Fuse box question

So I need to add a new fuse for something in my car. I've already ran all the wiring but can't for the life of me figure out how to add a new fuse to the fuse block. Do I need to take out the screws that holds em in place and do it from the back side?

You don't add to the actual fuse box. That's just stock wiring. You'd need a fuse holder that usually just gets placed anywhere in the dash out of sight inline with the item your trying to fuse.. I think that's what you mean..

O hadn't thought of that. Would an audio shop or best buy carry them?

there is add a fuse, or just get a inline fuse and bam, run to power and your golden.

I'll give the inline fuse a try...anyone know approximately what size I should use? Its for my led's I'm putting inside my glove box, the little cubby below the heat controls, and the armrest in-between the seats.

you could use a low amp for that, 5 maybe 10amp. leds dont have a big draw.

and i did the same light you speak of except the in-between. i did mine in the door pockets and cup handle. You making it so you can turn them on manually? I had put mine on the dimmer with teh rest of the lights.

Yup manual switch. Just in case I need a little light somewhere...I already ran the wire and put the switch in place but don't wanna power it off the already existent light due to I already have a lot of lights powered off it

lol you already have alot of lights powerd off the stock lights? what have you done?

Look on my my ride thread. I swapped out all the stock lights with red ones then added a ton of red led's hidden under the dash cause it just wasn't bright enough the I retroed the trunk with super bright white led strips. I and added lights for the back seats cause gxp have no rear lights for rear passengers

are you talking over head?

No in the floor board

do you really have a need for light on the floor in the rear?

Sorta. It looks a lot better cause just the ones at the head aren't bright enough. I hid them under the front driver and passenger seats. But it really does make a heck of a difference

ive never had anyone in my back seats, mostly i leave the seats folded down. i call it the coupe mod lol

Well when we go somewhere at work we all car pool. But its the way I like it. But u think like a 10 amp inline fuse is more than enough

yeah that should be more than enough for small set of led's
