Adding new fuse block?!?!
could i piggy back another fuse bock off the stock one??!? or if wanting to add "circuits" should i just put the wire under one of the screw in the stock fuse block?!?
and if so, would i just use battery cable to tie them together?!?! |

" You could connect another fuse block in parallel with the existing fuse blocks, but I would connect to the main source wire that connects to the pos. battery terminal or connect another source wire at the battery terminal to feed the new fuse block. Do you have that many more circuits to add? If the new circuits are to be used intermittently and the current requirements are modest, you could connect the new circuits to existing fused positions. If your vehicle doesn't have a sunroof, electric window motors or rear wipers, you could use these unused fuses to source your new circuits. Depending on the added circuit load(s), you might have to resize the fuse accordingly. For example, a 25A fuse for the sunroof motor circuit doesn't provide much protection for a 2A load. Sherwood |

If I were going to do that much work to the wiring, I'd upgrade to a different fuse system.
Check out this thread: Fuse panel upgrade to ATO type
