I have no power at my wire and I don't want to pull up the entire dash to chase the wire..All my fuses are intact.

Can I just take a new wire from the battery to the cigarette lighter directly?

I understand I will probably need a fuse to protect anything I hook up to it. What type of fuse would be adequate for this job? I have some leftover 8gauge wiring that I used to wire my subwoofer...would this be okay to use or should I get some proper electrical wiring?

Thanks,
Robert
