me and trons dont get along
« on: February 16, 2009, 12:18:35 AM »
HEY averybody or anybody, i got me a CB a couple of weeks ago.  I dont have a clue where to or even how to wire this thing in. Fact is, I kinda started to almost try once. And then i looked at the back of the fuse block and cowered away with my tail between my legs.  wires and crap scare me because i have no clue what to do when it comes to anything elecrtical. HELP!!! :-\

you can get a plug from radio shack that goes into the cig lighter.  then you'll be all set.

Lighter plugs make it easy to take the CB in and out of the vehicle. Permanently wiring it yourself isn't very difficult. Maybe we can get a few of us together one night and knock it out. I also have a SWR meter for tuning the antenae once it gets hooked up.

radio shack has a fuse that you can wire in to your fuse box for ignition operation.  I'm not sure if I said it right as I'm not one to work on electronics but I did do my own and its been working for abut a year now and I havent shorted out the Jeep.

take the red wire & run it to a switched fuse. put the black on a ground. plug the antenna in & you're done. 8)

I'm extreamly good at automotive wiring (re-wired an entire car, plus you should see the custom work on my taco).  I'm free most of the week.  Come on over and I'll show how it's done!
