 Subject: Sanity Check
IP: Logged
Message:
You guys wanna give me a sanity check here:
I wired in my Garmin GPS V directly into my fuse box (looks much cleaner with no wires). I just want to make sure I am not going to fry my brand new $500 tracking system
What I did was this.
I found a "hot" extra port in my fuse box (ignition controlled). I wrapped the positive wire from the GPS cord around one of the prongs on the fuse and pushed it in (I used a 15 amp fuse...same as the cigarette lighter).
I grounded the ground on a little screw a few inches away from the fuse box.
The power cord for the GPS has a 1.5 amp inline fuse (I checked the cigarette lighter adapter cable that came with the unit and it too had a 1.5 amp fuse).
Anyone wanna sanity check me? You guys see any prob's with this? Anything you would have done differently?

Sound ok, the only thing I would of done different is get one of those add a fuse adapters, you remove the fuse plug this in its place of the fuse, it has a pig tail that allows you to add a seperately fused accesories, when you look at it it looks like 2 fuses stacked together
