can any you hummer experts give me some direction thanks

alrock -> RE: fuse box (6/20/2008 4:30:04 PM)

Why do you want to connect it to a fuse box? Why not run a line to the battery and put an inline fuse? Much simpler to do. 

3hummers -> RE: fuse box (6/20/2008 4:44:30 PM)

That is the answer

rromas00 -> RE: fuse box (6/20/2008 7:21:48 PM)

ok how to do that how do i get it to the inside of the car......the directions said run it to a spare line in the fuse box and i looked in the manual and there are some open sections in the fuse box........

Cut a hole through the firewall, that''s what I did when I installed my neon lights... Ran them to the headlight fuse for the ultimate toggle switch [;)]

Exactly. Don''t forget to put a rubber grommet in the firewall (25 cents at the hardware store) to prevent the firewall from cutting your wires. There''s no need to use the fuse box but you do need an inline fuse.

For the DVD player, you probably also need to connect to switched power. You can find lots of suggestions for finding one of those wires in the Audio/Video section. Search car stereo install, DVD install, etc.

Here''s a pic from inside of my CB power wires going through the firewall

rhill20 -> RE: fuse box (6/21/2008 8:55:02 AM)

It''s just a rubber grommet from a hardware store.

importkiller -> RE: fuse box (6/21/2008 10:02:29 AM)

what is this part called.....drill a hole to run to the fusebox?

DILLIGAF08H3 -> RE: fuse box (6/22/2008 10:00:25 AM)

I usually use the big rubber grommet for the vehicle harness. No drilling needed, just find it, poke through it with a straightened wire coat hanger, tape your wire to it and pull it through.

Exactly what I did

I''m trying to do this with my radar detector. I got the "add a circuit" part like in the picture, but when stripping the power cord for my detector, there is a red wire and a white wire. Which one do I connect to the extra fuse spot that goes in the fuse box?

importkiller -> RE: fuse box (6/22/2008 3:47:21 PM)

90% of companies use the red wire or red striped wire as the hot or +12V lead. That red or red striped wire would be the one that goes to the add-a-circuit wire, the black or black/white wire would just go to a good ground.

To be safe look at the cigarette lighter plug you cut off the radar detector...there will be the same color wires in the plug as the ones you just described. See what color wire is soldered to the tab that the fuse makes contact with...that will be the hot or +12v wire [;)]
