Very informative. I usually spliced off the cig lighter for aftermarket radios which I’m very lucky to never caused a total fire. My Civic did start smoking from electrical fire(coming from radio area). Thanks for this guide as I will try to do my future electrical hacking in a safer way.

Excellent info. I do have adjustable peddles fused nut no adjustable peddles. I can use that one. I also have several powered, unused sockets but the tap is loose when inserted. Why is that and how would you correct it? Brilliant episode. You are very through and you explain it very well. Thank you

Absolutely brilliant explanation. Love the drawings and the multimeter visuals. The fuse that you tapped into went to a device your car does not have - why put the original fuse into the fuse tap? Why not insert the fuse that you need for your particular circuit?

You got any video for honda CRV ex 2000

hello, really informative and helpful, I just had one question, I want to install some aftermarket led lights and I've located 2 vacant slots in the fusebox which show that they are for "fuel injector gsl" in the fusebox diagram of my particular vehicle and I was wondering if they were safe to use, I tried googling to no avail and finally asking you for help after watching your educative video. Thanks!

Hello Can I use mini fuse spare ? For DRL fog Lamp

[sirajj]

So if I have an accessory that comes already wired with a relay and a fuse is it necessary for me to tap into the fuse box or can I just hardwire the accessory to a direct power source? Great vid btw👏
