It really depends on how many amps are being drawn from the same power source, as you don't want to overload any circuit. Check the manual to see how many amps the accessory fuse can handle, and ensure the combined power requirements of your add-ons fall below that. I don't recommend using a larger fuse!Is it okay to tap into the black wire for ground? I already tapped into the front accessory for power.
I want to run one more wire for dual USB chagers to the rear center console. I was wondering if that's okay and how many wires can I run from that front cigarette lighter?
The good news is the fuse should blow if you stress it. SHOULD.
I wouldn't recommend using that ground. The Jeep has dedicated grounding bolts all over (especially on the outer most area of the front foot wells).
Hope that's helpful!
PS: If you have the mfg. installed AUX Switches, it provides two dedicated 12V power wires, in addition to the AUX's switched wiring. Assuming you don't want that particular device on a switch, these are the most recommended accessory power sources.
