I have been told to wire my CB either through the cigarette lighter or the power outlet but I don't know what they mean. Could someone please explain to me how this is done?
best performance from a CB will be gained if it has a direct connection to the battery.XJ98Jeep said:Yep, I had what Gerr had, basically it's just a male cigarrete lighter plug on the end of the wires, and you plug it into the 12v outlet like you would with anything else. I eventually got tired of having to turn my car on to use my CB, so I just ran the wire (with a fuse of course) straight the positive terminal of the battery, and grounded it under the plastic body paneling under the seatbelt.

I've replaced two fuse boxes from bad techs overloading them with too many fuse taps. After awhile the "teeth" holding the fuse in gets weak and retracts allowing the fuse(and tap) to work loose.
