So Lost...NEED HELP!!! <---WIRING & FUSES

[espnfreak]

Hi, I am wiring 4 10" neon lights from street glow, and i have them wired up to the accessory plug. I had it on, but the ground wire back to the accessory ground wasn't connected real well. Now i tested, and there's no power at both, and there was a while ago. I'm lost and wondering if its fused and what could be wrong. PLease HELP i cant go anywhere without knowing what happened. So sad :-(

It sounds like you blew a fuse! I wouldn't recomend wireing the tubes directly to any curcuit. They require too much power to run, causing the curcit overload the fuse (which will blow it). Your best bet would be to wire the tubes using a relay. This way the curcit power is only needed to trigger the relay. The power to run the tubes will come directly from the battery.
