A more useful center console (DIY power & light)

[— YellowYata —]

Are you sure you have a 20 amp fuse right now? That's too high. It should be more like 10 amps.

I only used a 7.5 amp fuse on mine only because I didn't have a spare 5 amp available. If you're drawing more than that to power an LED or charge a phone, you're doing something wrong. I ran 14-gauge wire from the battery and that is too small for 20 amps anyway.

Ha, Missed the post about wiring. About the fuse, I assumed it was 20. I know in my truck its 20 and I had to replace it with 25 since I was popping it. I though it might be the same. I never really looked at it yet.

That should be there from the factory (secondary, I still like the original spot). That is really well done and a nice touch with the light! If I could stand to cut up my console I would do that.

i never really looked in this part of the forums before, (because i absolutely fear fiddling with electronics) but this thread looks interesting and i may tackle it one day. looks good though.
