Ok so I'm 16 and taclking this by myself.
I mounted an antenna mount above my passenger side light in the rear and ran the 18 ft of wire up to the front. But now i am stuck on wiring the CB to a fuse. I have the + wire (red wire) in with the radio fuse. Is that ok?
But now i dont know where to put the black negative wire? Help please and thank you?

 

when i did mine, i wired it straight to the battery, less confusion that way

 

attach the black wire (-) to the body inside your Jeep... find a bolt and sand bolt the wire to the bolt... that gives you an instant ground

 

But dont you have to run it through the fire wall? and i dont have that much negative wire? Could i just tie it in with a bolt that attaches to the body?

 

if u have speaker wire lying around u can use that to extend ur wires, but yes u could use a bolt thats on the body for a ground

 

that can become a fire hazard...

the more wire you run into/out of the cab the more likely you are to short out and have a fire... the body of your Jeep is always ground on the XJ (and MOST vehicles... for that matter)

so just connecting the black (-) wire to the body is way easier than trying to get it out to the battery dirrectly

 

Can i undo a bolt and just tighten the bolt with the wire under it? WOuld that work as a "ground"

 

what do you mean by sand?

 

if it can go through 2 WI salty northern winters without a problem, i think its fine

 

yes

 

Alrighty thank you for the generosity and help i will be doing this tomorrow morning> i will take/post pics just to make sure everything is ok

One more question: Is there a certain way i should put the + wire into the fuse? right now i kinda just placed it in the slot and pushed the fuse in on top of it
