    Headrest Monitors Working. Pic.

    i still have a problem though. i tagged onto the ignition for the inverter but the fuse on the inverter blew when i went to test it out. it draws too much power. do i need a resistor. it has a 25AMP attached to the 140W inverter.

    You generally don't want to power your entire system from the ignition line!

    You should run a separate, fused line to the battery and use a relay or a manual switch to turn the inverter on.

    i already tagged the inverter onto the acc ignition harness so im keeping it there. put all the wires under panels and what not and dont feel like taking everything out. it has enough to power the inverter. my headrest are powered from behind the radio. i was just asking what i should do about the fuse blowing when i went to test it. if i had to wire it to battery i would have to go through firewall which i dont want to do. im definitely getting power to the inverter.
