cb wiring help

so i searched and checked the wiring basics and im still lost. i have no idea how to connect my pos. wire to a fuse or the neg to the chassis or anything. someone bail me out plz. i can build a deck but i cant install a fu**ing cb

 

ok so anything? i know your probably thinking WOW, but i build things, not wire things. so plz help its christmas time

 

Positive to power fuse is running a positive wire from a switched or constant power accessory fuse in your fuse box to the radio. Wire to ground is connecting to the chassis or body, usually via a wire run to a bolt through body or soldering to an area with pain scraped off. Your manual will tell you what accessory fuse slots you have and where. If you cant get a good ground you could always run a wire back to your battery.

 

ok maybe a dumb question but how do i wire it to a fuse?

 

I would go to your local auto parts and ask the guys in there to show you where/how to connect the positive. The auto parts can sell you the crimp on connectors(.99) package to do that.
Then just find a bolt or screw that is threaded into the body of your truck and use that for ground.

 

hmm ok. maybe ill try that

 

i just bought a plug that you connect the wire to and plug into you cigarette lighter. not sure if that's an option for you but its sweet for quick disconnects.

 

Where you located in WA?

 

Here is one of the easiest ways to add a 12 volt accessory by just tapping into your fuses...

Does it matter WHich fuse place in the fuse box you pick ??

 

I am on the same boat as you right now.

 

Try and find the radio or ignition fuse or any fuse that will Not have power flowing while the key is off.

 

The Fuse box is on driver side close to the door behind all the gauges right?

 

I'm not sure on the 2nd gens but on mine it is right above the driver side kick panel

 

THanks 01Tacoma I got it all hooked up now i am stoked. I am learning how to do all this electrical crap. SO i hooked up the Red Wire which is AUx wire to the Fuse Panel. Orange wire went to the Battery and THe black Wire went to the CHasis.
