I have 8 small blue neons which I am planning on fixing in the footwells and door pockets. I have run a cable with an inline fuse holder (10A) to a switch in my glove box. When I tested these with one of the neons I blew the fuse. I am rubbish at electronics and am hoping someone can tell me how to get this right! PLEASE!!! When I wired all 8 thru the cigarette lighter they were all pretty dim hence I went for the battery direct method.
Somebody save me before I blow a fuse!! Dan |

cheers volks,
sounds identical to the setup i have, except i have an illuminating toggle switch. I guess i can put my problems down to using the 25amp fuse. I used chunky copper speaker cable for the negative leads on the system as its all i had to hand, surely this wouldn't cause the problems? I will get round to trying again with a ten amp fuse maybe even five. The bulbs are tiny and were cheap, i was going to use quantity to create the effect rather than quality  . will let you know how it goes next time, unless i get blown up in the process!!thanks, dan |
