Hi. Sorry i didn't get back to you sooner but I've been on the road for a couple of days driving to North Carolina. We will be here visiting our daughter at UNC in Chappel Hill for a couple of weeks including a week on the coast. So I won't be able to try out your tip till I get back home. I'll let you know how I make out.

Snakeoiler - what kind of wire terminals are you referring to? I tried the kind you are supposed to push in with the fuse but the connectors in the fuse block are very tight and I did not want to deform them out of shape so I gave up on them. I also thought my wire harness was too tight to manouver the fuse block to get at the back of it. How did you do it?

Thanks guys.

 

I looked in that area and decided I wanted to keep everything clean around there, however, if there are truly some open, untapped circuits there, I would use those first as well. I did find a constant power on an unused wiring clip I re-routed for later use

 

Same here

 

hey, for you guys that have tapped into this area, can you post some pics of what it looks like? maybe some visuals would help Mort out, plus I'd like to see your work

 

Go in from the front, not the back: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....99&postcount=3

Those blades are metri-pak 280 series, so just pick up some 280 series female terminals. I don't have a 4x4 so I imagine I have more open cavities than most. In the left of the picture, I have two red wires going to 12+ constant power as well (next to the 2 orange 12+ constant power connector).

 

Thanks alot Snakeoiler for the information and the pic.

I looked in that area but did not test for any circuits. I did not know you could get terminals to fit the male taps and was worried about unfused circuits. I guess all those taps must be fused somewhere? I used a chassis stud near the fuse panel for a gound. Those connections you have look really good. Nice and clean and professional looking. I like it, thanks again.

Thanks, ZDEN, Grippy and Jerry

 

I tapped mine in to the fuse box on the drivers side compartment of the engine bay... just put it under a 10amp fuse... Youll be alright
