Basic Wiring
Hello all,
I bought a USB port switch for my Yaris but I am not exactly sure how to install it. I am a complete newb at electrics and wiring. I've tried looking online for basics on wiring but a lot of the articles get wayyy too technical for me and I have no idea what they're saying. The product is this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It doesn't come with any wires. All I know so far is: -Get some wires of some gauge (10 to 17? AWG) -put some female connectors on them -connect the female connectors to the prongs -wire the negative prong to "ground" -wire the positive prong to...ignition/acc fuse (So that the USB will charge only when car is on)? Any fuse higher than 4.2a? My questions: -Would I need something to convert from 12v to 5v? -What size wires, and should size differ for - and + prong? -If I connect to a fuse, do I just wrap the wire around the fuse where it plugs in or would it be better to get a fuse tap? I guess I could just pay someone to get it done for me, but I would actually like to learn a few more things about cars. So could any wiring geniuses point me in the right direction? |
