[QUOTE="JamesDiana Tiffany, post: 668680, member: 64554"] Go to the Battery and remember to turn things off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New vehicle wiring is engineered for the load it carries and not much more. I take stock SUV and trucks and turn them into Law Enforcement vehicles for the Park Service My rangers are always trying to do stuff like this to me (overamp fuses, have me run stuff off the ACC so they dont have to remember to turn it off Ect.) I always start with 4awg wire to and from the battery with a 100 amp fuse and start working down from there. If something blows after it leaves me its because they left the warning lights on for 2 hours at an accident or there is a short. Always have an Amp meter around for car wiring jobs. They are around $100 but they help alot some times. James [/QUOTE]
