Help with Fuse Tap
|
|
|
refer to page 7 of this thread, post number 66 and 67. link deleted ............... not allowed The idea of using a fuse tap, or add a circuit fuse tap on the fuse box for the mod to have your high beams and fog lights on at the same time is interesting. However, the way he is doing it seems wrong to me, but I am not much of an electrician. Wouldn't it be better to: Use the add a circuit fuse tap in the fog light fuse, putting a 15amp fuse in the bottom slot (since that is what is in that spot, i.e. 15amp), then run the red wire and tap directly to the high beam headlight fuse, using a 10amp fuse in the top slot of the fuse tap (since that is what is in the headlight fuse spot). Wouldn't that give you a fused circuit then and be less complicated? Seems like this guy has way too many fuses in the line. Anyway, thank you for any help, as I said I am not too astute when it come to understanding auto wiring.

You really need to read the forum rules You haven't posted the year, make, model and engine size nor have you told anyone what the issue is and exactly what you are trying to accomplish. PS, you don't need to keep quoting the previous post either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

So basically your running the fog lights off the headlamp high beam circuit? Adding loads to a circuit that wasn't designed to handle those loads isn't too smart. Why can't you just turn on your fog lamps when you turn on your high beams? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Never mind. I got no time for ass hats like you guys. You aren't here to help out anyone, you are just here to try to act like big shots and put everyone down. So I really don't give a Sh!t if you all help me or not, I will go find some people who have a little balance in their lives to ask.
