Converting Car Neons (AutoBarn) to fit my computer, any tips?


I already tried soldering a female power plug to the neon but it deidn't work.

It should have worked if the wiring was correct. :?:

throw us a pic to see what you got going on

[Mr. C]

12v DC is 12v DC - doesnt' matter what source it comes from?

[Slamo]

Maybe I have positive and negative the wrong way around :?:

[Mr. C]

that's a possibility worth investigating:?:

[Wiggo]

Remember that 12v+ is the yellow wire and the negative is beside it. ;)

Q # 1 Is that a cheaper way to go?

Q #2 Do the car neons generate more heat than the others?

[Slamo]

Damn, I used the red and the black, that explains it, thanks wiggo.

A #1 Yes, I find it a cheaper way to go

[drpeterbright]

What do you do with the other two?

[Mr. C]

prevent them from making contact with anything/anything connected to anything expensive.

how many times is anything acceptable in a sentence:?:

With 8 you get eggroll. Can they touch one another as put a wire nut on both of them?
