i know NOTHING about electrical systems, so presumably this post will draw some chuckles. i'm cool with that, as long as said chuckles are followed by some help! i'm desperate!
i'm trying to set up what i believe to be a very basic electrical system in a custom bicycle i'm building. what i'd like to do is to power 4 small lights (comparable to a cars turn indicators, but without blinking), an old-school "aa-OOOO-ga" car horn, and eventually, maybe even a small speaker system for my ipod.
can ANYONE give me a step by step of how this MIGHT work?
i know i need a power supply, fuses, switches for each of the components, and a grounding point. i was hoping to use a basic car battery for the power supply. from there, i know nothing. how do i wire from the + to the fuses? then to the switches? then to the components? how do i know what wires to use?
i'm really at a loss here. when you're done laughing at me, please -- help me out!
thanks so much in advance.
