Post some pictures when your done.

 

Yep it can be done. All you have to do is tap into on side of the fuse box for something that is always on with car started, and if you really want, you would place the 5a fuse inline before the switch(you can get the fuse holders at any auto parts store). Speaking of switch.....will you be using a seperate switch that you will buy? I can't tell from what you wrote.

On another note..............I really don't think I would use another fuse(meaning the 5a inline), you're only adding 20mA, so I'd just tap off the fuse box or the right wire coming from the fuse box and be done with it.

 

I was looking at some of those in-line fuse holders. Very cool but seems like it would be flapping around whereas the Add-a-Circuit seems neater/less cluttered. But could I just use an in-line fuse holder and tie it down? These fuse holders have mini prongs to tap into the fuse box?

Yes I am going to buy a switch.

 

It's going to take a little while to get going. So far I'm still just learning the basics (as you can probably tell, haha). But when I get started, I'll definitely take pics all along the way.

 

Just see your PM's as there is a much better way.
Yes, you could just tie off the inline fuse with tie wraps and it won't flop around........this is how the shock sensor(the old one) handled the seperate fuse holder(it was an inline).

 

^ PM sent.

Thanks.

 

Any updates? I would really like to do this once someone gets it to work well with a switch. I want it to turn one when opening the coin holder, not only when the lights are on.

 

I'm making one of those... I'll let you know how it comes out.

 

^ Yes, post up when you do. I have to wait a couple weeks and go to visit family over March break and while I'm there I'll get my dad (engineer) to help out in case I am about to bolt my forehead to the dash.

 

Any updates on this? I really want to do this because now that it is spring break, I finally have the time.

 

Bump for an update.
