Hey tomorrow, You can go to an auto parts store and buy a fuse tap. Its just a little peice of metal that goes over the positive side of the post, of the fuse, and it just plugs back into the fuseblock. It'll hav a pigtail wire, thats +, and hook the ground to some metal part under the dash thats conected to the body.
Just when taping a fuse, try to use something not used much like the lighter.
In fact you can wire directly to the orange wire on the back of the cig light. Its constant HOT+.
Just limit using the lighter when on your CB, it might blow the fuse if tomany things are going on, on that circuit.
I'm not sure what GA you hav, but the fuse tap w/pigtail should hav complete instructions, if not ask the clowns at the parts store, surly they can tell you that munch.
