Good Power Source?

[rollinhnda88]

I was wondering if anybody new were i could find a good 12v power source around the dash area like in the fuse box or sumthing..... for some neons and such.... if anybody has any ideas please let me know. Thanks Allan

I went into my cruise control fuse for my indiglo gauges. Black is negative, Red/black stripe is positive, I believe. If you have a voltmeter, it'd make it a lot easier for you.

I would just pull from the cig lighter fuse. It's not usually used and can handle the currents neons would draw with no problemo. :D

Hey guys I will try and find the pic in my service manual for you guys. There's 3 accessory plugins on our fuse box under the dash. All you need to do is put a female wire connector on the end of the wire and plug it in. If I can't find the pics I will just take one with my camera.

Hehe, I found it easier to just strip the wire and wrap it around one of the legs on the Cig fuse until I ran a fused line from the battery.

This will be way easier and better. I took a pic and did some crappy paint works stuff so you could see what I'm talking about.

ok that is in the area that i was looking for now close to that were would be a good ground?

[cdscowboy]

I use that middle connection that you circled to ground my stereo. Rather, the place that did my installation did. Nonetheless, that's where it is.

[rollinhnda88]

how can i ground off of that when mike said that all three of them were hot sources?

[cdscowboy]

I'm not sure. He may be wrong. I know my stereo works hooked up there, so it doesn't appear to be a hot source...I recommend just going to the cig. lighter like Hostile said.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Umm yeah those are positive connections there cdscowboy. My info isn't wrong, b/c I got it from the computers at school and from another member.

[rollinhnda88]

yeah i took my test light to all three and got hots..
