In cab Fuse box write up. thanks studlyblueiz!
So for anyone who is looking for an easy way to add any interior lights or just need power for whatever you're adding here's what I did.
I went to Advanced Auto Parts and bought a fuse block. Holds six fuses and allows you to wire in using spade connectors.
Next, I stripped the driver floor panels and rolled back the carpet.
Then, mounted the fuse box just to the side of the E-brake.
For wiring I chose to mount it straight to the battery using some leftover amp wire. I'm not an electrical engineer but I do know that your wire gauge does need to be large enough to supply enough amps to the other hook-ups. Also, like an amp it's a good idea to have a fuse between the battery and the firewall or floor in my case.
Route the wire to the underside of your floor and drill your hole and plug with a seal. Continue with pushing your wire through the floor. Now just cut your wire to size, crimp your connector on, and secure the wire to the fuse block bolt.
Now, you can easily add whatever it is you'll need power for without having to tap in to stock wires. Once you're done just snap panels back on and it'll keep your block hidden.
Thanks and good luck on your install!
