Installing CB
Hi guys this is my first time posting on here, been reading a lot looks like a great forum! I have a 2000 F150 4x4 off road, and I am attempting to install my CB in it. I mounted it on the bottom of the dash and just planned to wire it to fuse panel in front of the driver seat. However after looking at a fuse panel diagram it appears that there are no unused fuses that I can wire it off of? Am I going to have to run a wire through the firewall and wire it from the engine compartment
? If so that’s a bummer it was a lot easier to wire it up in my Jeep

wire it to the "radio power" fuse. i think its like 15 or 20 amps. that what i did in my 99 and now my 04 the same thing and works perfectly. you can turn it on even with the truck off but i wouldnt for too long bc itll drain the batery. strip a little off the wire, take the fuse out, put the wire in the slot and pop the fuse back in there and youre good to go

I was just a little worried about drawing too much amperage but I guess if its been done before hopefully it'll work again
