okay i got my cb today (no criticism needed here please) and to power it up you have to plug it in the fuse box or something like that. it just has two wires that are stripped at the end sticking out. now ive spend about 20 min. looking for where to put it and have banged my head on almost every possible thing there is to bang it in the car. (i might be needing a new steering wheel lol) someone please help cause i feel really dumb

 

Well, you'll need a ground. Any screw on the body should do. I found one under the dash. Then you'll probably want to use an extenda-fuse so that it's completely reversable. Here's what the extenda-fuse looks like.

 

where do i buy the extenda fuse?

 

or is there an adapter where i can plug this into my cigarette lighter?

 

How much current is your CB radio pulling? Any empty slot in your fuse box should be fine.....with the correct in-line fuse.

 

it is using 4 watts of power. i just dont know where the hell the fuse box is nor what to do with it when i find it.

 

doesnt anyone know where to plug this in???

 

this will show how the 12vdc and ground
get hooked up...

The fuse panel is under the passenger kick panel. Take a look at these pics. This is what the fuse panel looks like. Also, here is a picture of the add a fuse, available at any auto parts store...Note....you need the small one, not the full size add a fuse, or add a circuit as they call it. Also here is a pic of what it will look like with the add a circuit plugged into a fuse slot. Demo only, do not use this particular fuse location. Also, you can see a real nice ground screw in the pic. You should have this when you remove your kick panel...Good luck, hope it helps....
