Does the lead fuse have to be installed for the new second circuit to work? Maybe so, to protect the orig feeder wire. I wanted to abandon the first .

Another name for this device is 'a wire tap', it is used to easily create another fused lead from any circuit from your automotive fuse box, it creates two fused circuits from one location. Remove the original fuse then insert it in the bottom slot of this device and then insert this device into the original fuse location and the original circuit functions as before. Now to use the additional 'wire tap' lead insert the same size fuse into the top fuse slot of the wire tap and then red tap wire become hot and can power another 12vdc device safely. You need two of the same size fuses one for the original slot & one for the new tap lead.

Yes, if you use two horns you will need a relay. If you use one horn a relay is not necessary. It's a good idea to use an in line fuse if the circuit doesn't already have one.

You may have to re-wire the lead; however, it all comes with the unit. It is just a matter of taking the wire nuts off to change to the new connection... a very easy process.

You need to make sure the wiring is correct and that you leads are connected properly

Sorry, I had the outlet installed into my dash and I think the existing fuse was not used. I think it was the larger size fuse not the mini size.

Chris is right, I spoke with the elect who checked mine when I hooked it up. He said, not only will that not work right with the way the wire hookups are in the heater, it's against most elect codes. I would put in new breakers and wire just to make sure everything is good. You wouldn't want to fry something that's so expensive. Mine has been going for 4years now..... Still going strong.Hope this helps.

No problem for the wire to the holder. More important make sure you have the correct fuse for the rating of the wire.

Did you try replacing the fuse? It is underneath where the plug connects on the amp. Call BK customer support if that doesn't work. They are terrific.

I would check the draw on the two items you want to wire together. Add their current loads together and I wouldn't go more than 1/2 the rating on the fuse. Wire them in parallel. (Put both positives together and put both negatives together. Also the gauge wire of the tap determines how big a fuse you can install in the tap, it should say what fuse to use... That number would be the maximum. You can go smaller, just not larger. If both current draws (amps) add up to more than 1/2 the rating on the fuse - then radar detector and LEDs need their own circuits.

check to make sure the wires are connected correctly or check to see if you blew the fuse

No you have to change the fuses and circuit breakers over from your old one. Its not hard but suggest you put some notations down on paper it will help

No, the reverse wire does not need to be connected for the other functions to work. Please check your fuse to make sure it is not blown. For further assistance please call us at 856-768-5700 ext 2 and a technical support specialist will be happy to assist you!

The fuse is wired in-line.. Rated at 15 amps.. It goes into two horns (wired in parallel to each other). The horns face downwards to be less pervious to water.. I also soldered all the wires.. And made sure the wiring was well insulated..

Are you plugging it in correctly ? The black wire ( also known as the neutral wire ) should be plugged in on the left side of the tester... If you don't plug it in this way it will not even come on

That low of a draw does not need a fused circuit at all. It does however add security in case of a short circuit. I always like to put things on a fuse for added protection. It will work fine without one.

They must be on different circuits and all your breakers are good and turned on. I would replace the outlet with good ones or at least check to see they are connected to the circuit feeders I do not know how old the outlets are but it sounds like cheap outlets or someone didn't do a good job on installation

I installed the heater in my old 1976 beettle and it Works great. I don´t think that is necessary to put a new higher amps fuse. Plinio
