Great video and tuts. One of the best way to find the ACC (accessory) 12 Volts Power in your car is from the "Secondary Fuse-box" Inside your car, normally it is located directly below your dashboard, some Ford have them on the Right, while Nissan and most Japanese cars are located on the Left portion of the dash near the OBD2 Inputs. It's where your "Cigarette Lighter Fuse" is located and it is an ACC unit, just tap to it. Although, in some car it's difficult to run a wire from the hood to the Inside-Dash of the car, some car it's very easy, simply pull a rubber grommets, then your LED wires are in.
Tanks vedio
Will the power outlet still work when you put change the fuse? Not sure how it works.
Saved my life. Thanks for this insight
Thank you! After days of searching and being given vague and derisive answers, this video CLEARLY gives me the answer I need. Much appreciated! :)
The instructions are clear n concise and appreciated by those of us who know very little about vehicle wiring. Thank you
Thanks a lot ! after having tested all the fuses I thought I had to pull a wire to the cigarette lighter...then after a final search in French then with the same terms in English I had the pleasure of seeing your video! It works perfectly
kisses from france 🇫🇷
So easy, thanks so much. Am flabbergasted at how great they look. My small truck is now 'visible' . Next, the Mustang.
Very good clear video, just a slight observation, when starting your vehicle make sure that any loose objects (fuse box cover etc.) do not slip down into the engine compartment otherwise you might end up with something getting broken 🤔🤔🤔
wow! very simple demonstration but i learn alot.. I've seen some videos that i don't understand. thanks guys!
Been looking everywhere for a vid like this. Thank you 😉
If I wire in switches to turn on interior leds is there a need to do the acc? Since I am in control of when they are on?
You seriously made it so easy to install. Not like the other videos some of the car tech guys show. I got confused with their videos...
Same here!
Very clear instructions. Yes a pigtail fuse add-on would be safer but I had a 40’s vintage pickup truck where I wired in some extra circuits and never had problem. The added wire was always fused with an in-line fuse added for the new light or whatever
Congrats Girl ! You have done a great job ! Very precise and great presentation ! You Rock ! One of the best presentation i have ever seen for trouble shooting an ACC 12V. 10/10
Narrindar Singh You can't be serious.....this is a totally bullshit method of installing an electrical accessory and it has no business being presented as being a "How To" video.
Tu como eres listo😢,dile como se hace,tonto tu@@pcressma
Thanks .... you help me a lot... in my hyundai sonata gls .... now my fog lights is working. Thanks
Horn is never ACC, Horn is always on; can you show on Honda CRV 2013, which relay to use; and which metal pin to use.
you right bro
PLEASE REMOVE THIS VIDEO!
It seems that the comment section has it all covered, bit it needs to be said over and over again...Do NOT wire your aftermarket daytime running light in this manner.
The people that uploaded this video should be ashamed for giving such horrible advice. The relay socket is no place to junction electrical wiring from.
The other issue by judging all the 👍 means that you may have directed some inexperienced people to use your method and compromise the vehicles electrical integrity.
That's not true I followed similar instructions to install a set of DRL on a car I owned back then in 2015 and it worked well for me my little brother owns the car now and still those lights are in great shape
Milton Khemis it is true that is a big hazard right there
This is really wrong. Connect the acc wire to one of the headlight acc wire instead. This is totally wrong
@@miltonkhemis4900 Oh it works, just like sticking bare wires into the mains can work - it is just a terribly poor way of doing things and can cause problems. But sure, like most bodge-jobs, it works well until it doesn't.
@@guyteigh3375 Would it make it any safer if the red wire had a built in 30AMP fuse connected to it, then if it drew to much that fuse would kill it before it could do damage. just curious
very nicely explained
But will you be able to close the top to the fuse box now? Or will that new wire be in the way
disconnect the least important relay, im gonna do my horn. hold up u need that pimp
What was shown here isn't going to cause the horn to stop functioning...
Works well for cheap security alarm. Wire up a horn through this and a throw switch under the dash. If someone tries to start car without knowing to first cut switch, the horn fires up when the car starts.
awesome idea!
That moment when you find out your burning a wire due to overloading...hey why is there fire trucks around my car ...
You're 😂
@@zulfikranzulmos4066 You're. Note the period at the end of YOU'RE. You did awesome! You happen to find someone else's comment from 4 years ago. And corrected them. On something that had nothing to do with a spelling Or grammar quiz. Maybe in a few years. You will be able to do you're own comment. Relative to the video.
why *are there fire trucks
@@condoningchaos4789 ( Why *Are there Fire trucks.)
The diffrence is. If you are going to ride the tail of my post. With a correction. Come correct.
@@freakyflow stfu your grammar is horrible clearly
I like it when she says ACC
its use full video. but I have a doubt that why cant we connect LED's wire directly to the Horne's wire, instead of inserting into the relay. please advice me someone if I am wrong. Im not all good in this kind of work. but I want to install LED DRL lights to my car.
If there's a competition for stupid and terrible installation advise, this is definitely the champion
hanks for your simple and well delivered video, can you please help to me to know the ACC relay on my 2008 dodge charger sxt, I need confirmation to be sure as I have bought a LED DLR to use.
if my ac dosn't work anyway can I just wire it into that?
Wow 😲very helpful 👍
what is the big black relay with a white label in the top middle?
Very helpful.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
Thanks, but how do you do it inside the car for parking sensors please.
Perfect instructions!
So do i have to connect the cable below the fuse or ia there spare wire
Hi! Will this work on a 2015 Mazda 3 i Touring? I found those LED strip lights (for the headlight lamps area) from your website, and was wondering if they would work the same way as this video, thanks!
+iJDMTOY.com I am trying to install in an open fuse slot per your instructions for a '14 Mazda 3 for the LED DRL Switchbacks. the red wire has a spade/fork terminal. how do you insert this into the open fuse slot?
@@lisahoogvliet fuse tap from auto zone/parts store.. ask them about it.. they'll guide you
where should I attach the yellow wire (the one for signal)?
will this work for headunit acc wire? please
What a great "how not to" video :0(
i'm so impress....i don't know is safe but that quite easy..thanks
NO! Don't put bare RED wire in like this! Go to auto store and get a an "Add-A-Circuit" for your type fuse (example - this video shows micro, mini, or ATO size, your owners manual will tell you). They are also called "Taps". But NEVER bare wire like this! There WILL BE a "ACC" accessory (switched hot) that you can pull to add this additional circuit.
So if I use a fuse tap, it will still function the way it does in the video?
Thanks
@@mrdrywyup so it’s useless advice seems this relay thing is the best solution.
Also plenty of people have done it without any problems so I think it’s just try hards or gatekeepers making it out to be more than it is
I mean yeah it’s a bit ghetto but this is how it was done from the start TBH
so would i use the yellow wire run it there to my stereo would i have power?? my situation is pretty difficult to figure out
Location location location location! Nice video
..... Your obviously a Real Estate Agent.......
i have a dayligh and night light. where should i put the night light wire?
Thx.....
It helped me out alot....
Good instructional video but I would add to be sure you protect the new circuit with a proper fuse. This will prevent you from burning up your car from the circuit catching on fire. I have 40 + years experience on wiring on automobiles. The girl did a good job of showing you how to find a suitable circuit for the led lights. Excellent Job mylady
You are either delusional or on crack!
@@walterk1221 why...
Does a relay trigger wire really need to be fused? The relay is going to be fused between the relay and the battery.
@@kg0311 there is no such thing as to many safety additions on a circuit. a fuse will not reduce the amps or voltage just protect it
Si tienes 40 años de experiencia,pues hace un video y pinchamos y vemos 40 años de experiencia 😊,a ver si tienes cojones
Thanks for posting.. tomorrow I'll will try.. thx Again...very
Clear the way u explain it.
I love your video and awesome 👏
Very helpful, thank you
THANK YOU MUCH
How could I tap to ACC/12V of 2016 Camry? The current Video did not correct with the camry 2016..Please help
damn, looking all day for something about using relays thank you! and your cute
but she said watch us....has a boyfriend vibe
So does this really works? Still trying to figure this out.
Terimakasih petunjuknya bu ....
I used pin one on the ac relay but when i turn on the ac in car the lights go off? Any help would be appreciated
very helpfull 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💯
So I'm wiring lights, I put the wire in the number 1 slot for the horn but the light still turns on with the vehicle turned off. Any suggestions?
im trying to connect a LED hood strip light to ACC. from the comments im NOT going to do what she did, but i have no background in cars. what do i need to attach the red wire to a spare fuse in the fuse box? i keep hearing "fuse tap" etc, is that what i need to connect the red wire to the fuse?
Depending on how many amps you are going to pull on the wire and the size of the wire a fuse is the safest way to go
Sois muy machos de inscribir, enseña como se instala,labrador.
Why not invest for cheaper multimeter. I think it safer and proper way to check wiring. Myselft seldom use the pen tester.
Finally ! someone with a Brain.
i searched how to find a fuese box in friday the 13th and thise popped up XD
Thank you it work 👍
How do I connect the right side with no fuse box?
Now I need to see a man knitting tutorial and my life will be complete.
Bro stfu your dumb ass wouldn't need a tutorial if your daddy raised you right
@@eLaine33 You might have talked nice, if dad did't beat you, love.
I would think an add a fuse would be better. you are protecting the wire with a fuse, also, you dont have a ghetto connection going on.
Ghetto connection? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video, you have a very nice voice btw (v:
Excellent!
Could you please show how to install running light in Pruis 07
i used 1 hand to push it in, is that ok?
I did something like these in my Civic, taking care to open a little hole for cable passing keeping moist and water protection in the box. I used a extra glass cartridge fuse, to protect the feeder. Despite the simplicity of the installation, it works, RDL lights got current less than 0,5 Amp. both of them.
The running lights will come on when the key is in run position and the engine is running and shut off when the key is off and engine stops running. it's automatic NO switch.
If you connected to the post it won't turn on then right, then you will just have to reverse the position right respectfully asking
I did this and it dose not work for Nissan Altima 2013!!
Good info thanks
Thank you very helpful
Nice job idol
Keep safe blogging idol
awsome, was able to install my DRL on my Tiburon, I used the AC relay.
Thank you sister
hi. I do not find Acc fuse on explorer 2002
I do not understand why the horn relay port one was hot. Is not it only hot when the horn button is pressed? Please clarify.
+Bee Wax it could be on the ACC side of the fuse box so when the ACC circuit is live so is the horn source and the horn switch activates the relay closing the circuit.
What i dont get is why would you want to just stuff a Wire in to a relay pin, get out a volt meter or test light and do the job right with solder and heat shrink, far safer and looks much neater.
+Bass Medic's Entertainment how do you test with a voltmeter? What if I don't have soldering tools...
Helpful
So the ground wire connects to battery ??
Does anyone know where the ACC in the fuse box of a 2008 Prius is?
wonderfull
This has helps tons!!! Thank you!!! I ordered a pair of halo lights for my 2012 jk jeep unlimited and it has the EXACT same wiring, needless to say when I say it at first I thought I was starring at hieroglyphics haha
iJDMTOY.com Automotive LED I ordered the daytime running reflector(white only) what led bulbs work best with this. And where is the acc located in a 350z
omg that's the most helpful video showing how can we install LED day light easily .. thank you
This is terrible advice, you should never shove a bare wire into a relay socket for an "install"
Holy shit I was thinking the same thing. WTF was she thinking?
Exactly
I wonder why you guys think this doesn't work I followed these same instructions from this video to install a set of DRL on a Toyota Mark X way back in 2015 and everything works to perfection no power overload, malfunction or anything wrong. My little brother still has that car up until now with those lights still in great shape.
Milton Khemis because im A certified technician. This is unsafe, i also Have my Osha certification for safety.
@@jonathanlanuza7258 Thanks for the advice safety is a first priority
Absolutely perfect video!!! I was using a generic led strip that only had the positive and grounding wire and could not figure out how to use a fuse for it. Once I tried the relay, it worked like a charm and I felt like an idiot for focusing on one thing for 4+ hours. Ive never done this kind of mod on any car so I was not versed at all in this, this morning that I decided to just try it. Thank you thank you thank you!
Why not use a $6 SpyTec Hardwire fuse adaptor? Safer and you don't mess circuitry that may cause fire.
I love your voice
If someone ever removes that fuse to replace it, that wire will fall out and the person may not know why or where it was.
Besides, you can't leave a 12v connection stay in place by a relay prong. Not a good idea. It should be hard wired with its own fuse so that nobody can pull it off. On the plus side, your voice is very cute and angelic.
Thanks, couldn't figure it out last night. To wrap it up and make sure it works I just ran to battery but of course they WON'T go off. Fixing it today.
baghdad special
Great vid but with my car it worked with the AC and not the horn. Thanks
I have a switchback drl with harness, plug and play to my turn signal except the DRL, it has 1 wire that I need to tap somewhere, I can tap it to the parklights so it turns on when I switch the parklights on. My car is 2016 yaris model with no DRL so I want a DRL. I couldn't find the ACC fuse in the engine fusebox and it's a hassle if I tap it in the dashboard fusebox, I did this in the horn relay but my horn just blared continuously lololol embarrassing, instead of the horn relay, I shoved the wire to the relay beside it namely FAN 02 and it works. Because my switchback is plug and play I figured it is still protected by the oem relay and fuse and the Drl wire is just a trigger not the power source. Been running this setup for about 4 years now. The switchback and drl is still running good.
thanks so much!!
A fire waiting to happen!
Super, thank you wery much!!!!
I followed everything you said but when i turned the ignition on, my horn blared constant!
haha same, I shoved it on the taller relay that says FAN 02, drl turns on when ignition is on, turns off when its off, I did this for 3 yrs now,
I feel like she could say ACC more......
Jon Brown just like Julia Gillards keep moving forward
my friend has a 02 escape nd jst recently the interior lights , factory alarm or the radio doesn't work anymore. I even check the fuses. Anyone who may have this problem before or know of this please leave me msg.
बहुत अच्छा लगा
Did a good job explaining but hearing A-C-C over and over got annoying. Shouldn't you ground afterwards?
homephobic she connected it to the negative terminal
