Tap power from fuse box?
Hi guys,
I need a power source, a strong one. I don’t feel like running a pair of wires to the battery so I am wondering what some thoughts are on tapping the main fuse box in the engine compartment?
I figure there must be a high current line direct from the battery to the various fuse boxes. According to the wiring diagrams (which I stink at reading), there is a 140A line running to the engine compartment (or somewhere up there) with a fusible link. It then appears to split off but I cannot find the specific fuse box in the diagram. The device needs about 10A to start and then runs at about 3.6A after that. There are two of them so 20A start, 7.2A running.
Any thoughts?
