wiring help!!!!!
so i tried wiring up a set of strobe lights i purchased from autozone today when i held the leads to the battery the lights flashed but when i held them to the leads on the terminals on the fuse box they did not work...
do i have to buy an extra fuse to power the fuse box terminals or flip a swicth or something
thank you in advance

did you....
#1 make sure that when you connected the wires to the fuse box leads, that the key was turned to the acc position to power the leads on the fuse box?
#2 make sure that the leads you tapped on the fuse box were a constant power source - getting 12v+ straight from the battery with the key off?
if you use an empty fuse location in the fuse box, always get a fuse rated for the device you intend to wire up to it... then try your test again..

i dont believe you have to have a fuse but if you connect it to a constant lead you have to have a switch in order to turn it on/off.
if you do it to one which is switchable, you;d have to turn on that device to start getting power. ie- i have my footwell lights to the running lights so they only turn on when i click the headlight **** thing

I will always take a positive lead and put a fuse on it and then go into the switch. That way if there is ever a short. The power wire you are using is covered and dont have to worry about stuff melting down.
