Re: Power outlet help

That's exactly where I put my extra plugs. I made a little bracket that held two of them. I used the existing screw in the dash to hold it. No new holes in the car. I'm kind of anal about that.

Re: Power outlet help

That would be more than enough for a GPS. Sizing a fuse is more about the size of wire being used. The larger wire you are using, the bigger fuse you can use to protect it.

Look around on the fuse block for empty slots to slide the spade into. Might be one marked IGN. Use an inline fuse holder there. Should be good to go.

Re: Help

Check all of your fuses. Check them good too.

The orange wire should be powered by a 20 amp fuse. The yellow should be from that 10 amp radio fuse. I find it hard to believe that fuse is good.
