Default RE: Anyone know any good fuse taps (other than add-a-circuit)

yeah man i have everything set up just like, but the problem is i need 15amps of power, the littlefuse add a circuit thing only supports up to 10amps of power, any more and i guess the thing like melts or something. I need an alternative solution to attach it to the fuse box (off an existing fuse)

you must not understand my picture, the add-a-circuit will only be to power the small current draw of the relay coil, your 15 amp fuse will be in-line off the battery. look at the picture again.

when the power of the add-a-circuit goes threw the relay coil, it connects pin 30 & 87 together, wich gives power to your neon transformer, so the add-a-circuit would only power the coil, not the neon. The relay is the switch for the 15amp power.

this is how my neons are hooked up to my civic i just have a problem connecting them to the fuse box, because all my "option fuses" are missing some essential mouting peice. So i have to use something add-a-circuit to split a fuse, but the add a circuit thing only supports up to 10a of power i need about 15-20a

in my picture the neons are not powered by the add-a-circuit, they are powered by the inline 15A fuse from the battery, the add-a-circuit is only to switch the relay on, wich turns on the neons. you dont need to get 15A from the add a circuit, you get that from the battery fuse.......sorry if you dont understand, i cant explain it any clearer, if i had pictures of your actual neons and all the wires i could hep you out more, cause i dont understand your drawing

I want to attach my neons to my fuse box, thats all im saying. I need a device like the add-a-circuit one that can do this (add-a-circuit) only allows up to a 10a current, i need about 15-20a. I do not want to splice into any wires, and i do not want to run another wire coming from the battery. My only problem is finding a new device that will allow me to tap into an existing fuse. I have no problems with connecting anything. The difference between my set up and the picture is that i want to goto the fuse box instead of directly to the battery.

well, if thats the way u want it, i dont see why.....but, anyways, there would probably be a higher amp rating add-a-circuit somewhere, cause the only reason it can only handle 10amps is because the wire gauge coming out of it and maybe the construction itself not being able to handle a higher load.
