Problems with fuse box
Hey there, I have a 1990 camaro rs and I've been trying to work with my fuse box to install a cb radio, but no luck. I'm really confused by the fuse box, it looks as if it's newer than what I'm used to, the traditional soldering method for basic things. My fuse box has cartridge type fuses that I can pop out with 2 metal pieces, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to wire that in? Sorry, probably a really simple question but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Problems with fuse box
Actually mine are the plastic ones, look kinda like cartridges. Ive located the acc, I'm just not sure how to physically get the wire in there, wrapped it around one of the metal ends? Or what?

Best sideband on the planet.
Transmit frequency is also adjustable where others only adjust receive.
You should not tap into the fuse box front because when the CB has a problem it will blow an automotive fuse which might leave the car disabled.
You should run a dedicated fuse connected to the B+ coming into the car from the firewall.
Size of the fuse should be indicated on the back of the CB.
