I used a FuseTap to connect the red wire to a 10ma slot but where do I connect the black ground wire ?

Connect to any place metal under the dash using an existing screw or bolt as long as it's a good ground.

You need to check and confirm the color code from your adapter. The black should be ground and red 12+DC. Attached the red to the red and insulate the connection. Attach the black from the adapter to light case by one of the bolts. Should work fine.

You will need to buy a power adapter separately. This should work: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3802148 Just make sure to connect the positive to the red wire and the negative to the black wire, otherwise you'll blow it out. HTH

You should be able to either ground that connection or use a relay unit. There are several videos on YouTube that explain how this is done.

The wire that comes from the fuse holder is a positive + connection only and should be connected to the positive wire on your charger. You should have a negitive wire coming the charger that should be connected to a ground source near the fuse box.

It sounds like your electrical outlets are the un-grounded type (both slots the same size). You can purchase an adapter at a hardware store, probably less than $1.00.

Your fuse panel is +12 volts. By piggybacking another circuit, you are tapping into a +12v feed. So "power side" is the answer.

I didn't install any additional fuses. I'm guessing the ground wire is there to protect the battery connection. It was easy for me to do it, so I did.

I haven't purchased this yet, but if there is no ground wire connection on the unit, then you just connect the ground wires from the incoming cable and outgoing cable together in a plastic box. If you do use a metal box, then you should run a pigtail ground wire to a grounding screw in the box to ground the box, but it would be easier to just stick with a plastic box so you don't have to worry about grounding the box.

Hi My name is John. Are you running all your all black wires to ground. Red is positive or (HOT) wire & black being ground? Follow signal switch wiring color for color. Make sure you ground all connections.

The red/black wires are still right? I connected mine to a 9 volt connector. the remaining wires was trial and error for me. If they didn't work one way, I just reversed them.

I would check the ground wire and make sure it is properly grounded. Then check the fuse. I haven't had any problem with mine. I hooked the hot wire to battery connection and the ground to a good frame ground. I leave that hooked up and when I want to use it I just plug the connection together

Use a volt ohm meter set to continuity and touch the red probe to one prong and the black probe to the other prong. If the meter reads open or over load it is bad.

Hi Melvin,,, here is another site that may help you with the correct type adaptor plug for grounding. Check this out: www.geoharmony.co.uk

To use this fuse holder, you will plug it into a fuse slot operating on the ignition circuit. You will put the existing fuse in one slot, and another fuse in the second slot to run the camera. Simply connect the camera's USB wire to this adapter: "12v to 5v Weather Proof Under Dash USB Power Port Outlet". The red wire from the adapter is connected to the fuse holder red wire, and the black wire connects to a good ground.

You need to find the fuse box and directly connect to it! (read the instructions that came with the power magic pro)

Red connects to +12VDC, black connects to ground. You don't need yellow, don't connect it to anything.
