tapping the fuse

[99grandmarquis]

i was wondering if you could tap the fuse without using one of those fuse taps? ive been looking for them but i can't find them anywhere in canada

[Nathan in MI]

Can't you order them online from someplace?

You can get a doohickey specifically to do that? I never knew that. My horn is powered by a piece of wire with the end fanned out and folded over the end of a fuse.

Yea there are doohickey's made specifically for that purpose, but I have only seen them in the mini versions....
I am currently just wrapping wires around the the fused side of the fuse as well.

those single metal strips are so cheap looking, you have the ideal "piggy back fuse" within the second link.

And is there a button I am not familiar with to assist in making normal text double as a link?

In the reply window, hit the little button that looks like a globe with two chain links in front of it. It'll pop up a little window that you can paste the URL into. Click OK, and it will make a link in your reply. Then, highlight the link and type whatever you want it to say.

Those cheap strips of metal have never failed me; just make sure you use a female spade connector with a rubber cover over the connector. We use the strip-o-metal type at work on a daily basis for installing towing accessories. I work at Roadmaster, which is the company that makes equipment for towing vehicles behind motorhomes.

I am sure they work great, actually a lot easier than shoving the wire in with the fuse I am sure.

[91waggin]

Yes, especially when you use one of these to tap, rather than an uninsulated one.

Funny thing is on my car there is not a lot of room between the cover of the fuse panel and the fuse panel itself, so only the wire shoving technique works well. You have it different on your 91.
