u mean the passenger side fuse panel? None of those are 30A, theyre all 10A or 15A, with a couple 20A. The only 30A is a funky 4 prong fuse for the power windows (that i dont have, so no fuse there either)

i think im set. I found something akin to this:
http://www.scootonthis.com/images/jp...E/Conn3389.jpg
only instead of a socket connection, it has 2 prongs on it, and it happens to be the exact same size as our fuses, so I can swap a fuse with one, and have a tap. The only downside is whatever i swap it with will no longer be fused, so ill just swap it with something that wouldnt ever see too much voltage/amperage, or something thats easily replaced if it ever DOES see too much

the only issue with that is how much current your gonna draw thru that wire... if you hook up everything to one power source that wire will melt. you can add a little here and a little there but tread softly

yea, power windows. I just finished the install today. the stock power window fuse is a 30A fuse, so yea, they suck up quite a bit of power. Anyway, it looks factory, i used factory motors, SS door panels, SS bezels (the driver side bezel has aftermarket buttons, but they fit pretty well), its in a switched source (key has to be ON, not accessory tho), and everything is done pretty well. soldered all joints and heat shrink around each one afterwards. I'm happy now
