Hello everyone.
Looking to wire up a few additional 12V Sockets/Outlets in the front and rear to a key switched 12V supply. Possibly one or both of a duel or triple Socket style. But as some of you may know I'm not good with electrical . Want to do this safely...so that's why I'm here to ask first.
Questions...
1. Can I tap into a existing 12V supply from say the Ignition Switch Orange (hot in Run only) or Brown (hot in Accy & Run) wires for front?...and maybe drivers side Vent Window Motor/Actuator in the rear?
2. Or should I use a Add-A-fuse or Fuse Tap on a switched circuit in one of the Fuse Boxes?
3. If the first option...would I need to purchase and install a In-line Fuse for each Socket to protect the equipment/devices?
I would Splice into the existing 12V/Cig Sockets but didn't want to have to plug/unplug the equipment/devices every time I enter/exit the vehicle! So...ya.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as always.
Hope everyone is having a safe and great weekend!
