Power Outlet Addition

[MrJester]

Alright here is my problem. I want to add another power outlet to the car. I am using the small hole next to the steering column where the power window control would be located. But I need to know where I can wire it into. Rather not wire everything all the way back into the other cig lighter but not sure where else I can wire it into. Anyone got any ideas.

Go download the DIY manual, that's covered in there :wink:

Actually its not. They suggest wring it back into the cig lighter I was looking for an alternate power method.

Aaah I see... then you gotta find yourself a ground wire and a 12V wire around there... Got a multimeter handy? That would be your best tool.

Yeah that is what I am playing with now Just not finding too much.

I'm rewiring my entire front and back (3 additional power outlets + hardwired tomtom, sat rad, and radar dect).... so as soon as either the garage at work gets cleaned out, or weather gets warm I'll be creating a DIY for it....

Yeah I ended up wiring it into the other power outlet I figured two outlets and two LED Lights were not enough to overload it. Works alright for now. :)

You could use one of these (http://grote.com//cgi-bin/goc/goc.cgi?product_number=82-2212) in the fuse box just below where you put that outlet.

I saw that on a previous post but was not able to find any at the local radio shack and auto parts store :(
