This is important that you tap into the right fuse, you want your device to turn off when the car turns off, and not stay on.. Some components stay hot even when the car is off.. So choose wisely.

I have a volt meter (no idea what i'm doing) and i was going to test different fuses under the dash panel. Saw a youtube video of sorta how to do it to see if they're hot or not when the car is off. Def a 10A fuse. problem is that the fuse box under the drivers side foot well doesn't have a cover or display. Idk what fuse does what other than ampage.

Dang, wish someone local can help you out. It's a simple install..

I'm an amateur. If it isn't brakes, suspension, or slight engine work. i'm clueless. No worries. Hopefully this weekend things will work out better.

So best you use the fuse slot on the car that is already using a 10A fuse.
Otherwise the fuse could prematurely blow.

Example: if the cigarette lighter socket is using 15A and you tap the add a circuit with a 10A fuse into that slot, the 10A could blow if you hook up an old heavy duty air pump to it.

Dual 10A mini fuses. Got it. I assume a stock low profile mini 10A can be swapped for a standard mini 10A and the add-a-fuse will fit in the fuse holder?

Rep reset hasn't happened yet. I'll be studying like crazy today on amps, fuses, volts, etc. Not many DIY things for hardwireing stuff in a car for amateurs. I may have to create something if i get this project snowballing.

I had less trouble with the clutch helper spring and shifter knob replacement.

Some people just get the electrical stuff. It's not fair lol. I have been trying to search the FSM electrical stuff but get overwhelmed quickly. There's a reason I gave up electrical engineering in college :icon17:

Clutch and shift knob are easy ;)

Clutch rod holding the spring in place needed to be pulled out with vice grips and sanded down to fit back into the original holes. It got ugly hahaha. I'm really curious if i can stick those volt meter rods into an electrical socket without hurting myself or tripping a breaker.

Maintenance guy stopped by my office. I asked him to show me how the volt meter I have works. He messes with the dial and shoves the sticks in an electrical socket. huge sparks, the socket is pitch black now and the red rod melted the pointy tip.

kenchan 11-18-2015 07:58 AM

Goodam, everyone! :hello:

Is it 5pm yet..? :ugh:

i told you about my friend that had the same problem... he did the xray and they said he would require some type of surgery and they can't guarantee that it would fix it lol. they told him to just leave it like it is :confused:
