relay wiring I have a NX wet kit, and I was wondering if there was any good power source to tap into for my relay in the spare tire well. It will run power to my bottle warmer. OR will I just have to run a line up to the front of the car.
Thanks
Thanks

run a power wire to your fusebox, connect it to a ignition switched fuse like the radio one. even if there is a power source near by, i would still run the wire to the fuse box so that the heater can only run with the key on.

I hate having to hunt for fuses. My friend wired up his Honda and there are fuses everywhere. He also did a shitty job wiring, so trouble shooting his problems is a nightmare!

dont have any pics of it, but what i do is just strip a good inch off the end of the wire, wrap the wire around one of the leads on the radio fuse, and plug the fuse back in with the wire connected. make sure the wire doesnt contact the other lead on the fuse.

Wiring into the fuse box doesn't mean that there are going to be fuses in the system. You'll only be wiring to one side (lead) so the current isn't going to be going through the fuses. The only reason for wiring it in that location is so you are connecting to switched power sources instead of constant power, and all your power wires will be in the same general area on the car.
