I've got like 4 wires running into fuses that come on with the turn of the key and I need one wire that has plenty of current to tap into so everything will be a little neater and i can actually get to the fuses. I blew a fuse and had to move almost all the wires to get to the fuse and decided I needed to do something about it. Anyone got any ideas?

Cigarette lighter wiring?

How much current is "plenty of current"?

the cigarette lighter circuit can handle can handle about 9 amps before the fuse will pop. the other bet would be to use a relay and connect the trigger wire to the cigrarette lighter circuit. Relays only draw about 200 ma.

good idea about the relay. The cd player works through the cig wire too doesn't it, b/c I was hookin my cig plug up to a constant wire and when I put it all back together I noticed my cd was comin on with the constant cig lighter
