Need another place to get switched 12+ for Gauges - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I bought an add a circuit but if I cant use it for f17 or f18 in driver side fuse box inside because it is only for 10 amp fuse and I cant figure out how to do it. If someone could let me know where else I can get power from?

You could tap into the same one running your maggie coolant pump.
Pass-through just above the battery cable at the firewall.

I'm running a boost guage, an AFR guage and a radar detector off F17.
No problems.

How did you connect it to f17 though?

GJG · 02-12-2011, 09:05 PM

replace the f17 20 amp with a 10 amp.....figure out which side is the down stream side of the fuse.....tap in on that side of the fuse....
