The local car place wants to charge me $90 to run the wires for my rig in a Hyundai Elantra. I am sure I could do it myself, but I'm mystified by the wires. The end that's supposed to connect to the battery has power poles (I think that's what they're called: they look like a female fuse.) I haven't the slightest idea how to wire this. Can somebody please help? I'm sure I can get the wire run fine, it's just attaching it that I don't get. Thanks! |

Thanks for the link. There's a lot of good info there, but it's not exactly what I need. What gets me is that the power cables end in a female two point socket. Unless I cut them off and split the cables, there's no way to attach them to the battery. If I use additional cable, the splicing isn't much fun, and I'd likely need a separate fuse. |

Thank you! I thought I knew how to do a good search, but I never came up with that site. I appreciate your help very much, as it looks like the information on this page is precisely what I need. Thanks again, and 73. Emmett K2ADK |
