I installed two neons under the dash in the front a while ago. I wired it straight to the igniton wire with a 7.5 amp inline fuse. I had a small one on the driver side and a 10 in on the passenger. The driver side blew out. When i replaced the neon yesterday with a 10in, it worked for 2 min then blew. it also burned my fuse. Any ideas why? I replace the fuse with a 10 amp now and i'm going to get a new 10 in neon. Anyone have any idea what i did wrong? Thanx

 

Must be a short somewhere. Re-check all of your wiring.

 

No gueschecking if you wire straight to the battery...definately worth it.

 

Yea you have a short. Thats why the fuse is blowing. Also did you use the correct type of fuse?

 

but if it worked fine with the small one.... how come when i put the 10in tube it shorted? The wiring is fine...what do i do now?

 

too much current being drawn from the circuit...wire to the battery and you should be fine also works good for easier exspansion.

 

Any installation of neons is wrong.

 

^ lol.. it's god's way of telling you to get rid of them.

 

I bought a new tube and everything is fine. Now, if i want to add two more underneath the seats, is it safe to just connect to the same switch? I'd be connecting 4 neons to the same powere source. i have a 10 amp fuse.

 

where under the seats are u putting these neons? facing the backseat? i was thinking about that....or facing the footwells? (forward) just curious

 

Thats a sign that neons dont belong in a Maxima

 

you needx to make sure your switch can handle the amps, and its better to have too thick or wire than too thin.

 

i will put them facing the back seat....secondly, they belong in my Maxima. Everyone has different taste.
