[QUOTE="RivRunR, post: 251445, member: 1928"] Wasn't sure about your switches, but since they are lighted then it makes sense that the panel has a ground. On the cig lighter... I was just going on your [i]"Cig light positive [u]connects to fuse panel[/u] but not a switch"[/i] comment. Landry is right, you don't need it on a switch. I thought you were fusing it at the panel [i][b]AND[/b][/i] with an in-line, and you don't need both of those fuses. You can just go with an in-line fuse to either a positive buss, or to directly to the battery. A positive buss is the same type of distribution bar as your neg buss, only with a + lead feeding it. But it doesn't look like you need to get one since the only thing (?) connected to it would be the cig lighter. So, short answer?...cig lighter with an in-line fuse directly to the battery1 +.
