Step 36Make 10 Inch Jumpers With In Line Fuse Holder

Make 10 Inch Jumpers With In Line Fuse Holder
This step is to enable power to the cigarette lighter plugs. If you don't plan on using the cigarette lighter receptacles for charging cell phones then you can skip this step.

The wire needs to be size 12 AwG, black and red is preferable.

Prep an In-Line Fuse Holder with two crimp on ring termals as shown below. This will hold a 10 Amp fuse for whatever you plan on providing power to. The reason why it has to be 10 Amps is because the wiring fo the cigarette lighter plugs can only handle a max current of 5 Amps each. So 5 + 5 = 10 Amps.

After you prepare the In-Line Fuse Holder cut a black wire of the same length and put crimp on ring terminals on both ends of it.

If you want to charge 10 cell phones at once, you can buy a splitter to plug into the these receptacles. This will give you more placed to plug the cell phone chargers into.
