    I have about 4 fuses that don't receive power. What is the best easiest way to get power to them with out rewiring the entire fuse box

    I guess it depends on which fuses they are?
    Some fuses need constant power, others are switched.
    You’re going to need a wiring diagram at a minimum.

    You may be able to run an auxiliary fuse panel.
    But it really depends on the fuses and what they go to?

    Pic 1. Under driver side instrument compartment.
    I got fuse taps placed them in the ones with no power which are 5A starter (no power) and 5A IGN (no power) as of now I have them piggie back off each other to cig 15A. Pic 2 shows the how I have a spade terminal to go into the power source that I have it set for only when key in on will it gain power only when I connect it to start car. I just got some blade fuses to use those instead of the spade connector. Pic 3 is under hood driver side main fuse box with the same concept of fuse taps piggy back off each other to power source which is the positive of battery. Those fuses are both 15A Headrh(upr) and HeadLh(upr). Only my passenger side day/running lights is on. Brights work on both side but not reg

    Without wiring diagrams for you car, I can’t really help.
    But generally, the fuse box is wired to the battery with a large wire capable of handling the load of all the circuits (fuses), then you run separate wire to each component. In your case that’s the fuses that aren’t getting power.

    What you need to know is, is the reason they aren’t getting power because the plastics coating on the wire has melted and is grounding out?
    If guess if you are inclined to go though the old fuse box.
    You might want to try to eliminate the supply side of the fuse terminal.
    (The side that used to supply power.)

    I have to give you credit, you definitely figured out a way to get power.
    I wouldn’t have thought to use fuse taps. I can’t say it’s the best way. But you made it work.
