do it right?
TNX a bunch, Brian W3RV
There's no single standard for all vehicles.
Your vehicle owner's manual should tell you how many amps your
particular cigarette lighter circuit will safely provide, and an extra
robust plug may exceed the capapabilities of that circuit, or exceed
the specs on the fuses for that circuit. The fuse specs should be in
the owner's manual, too, or you should be able to track the fuses down
yourself.
Most firewalls have one or more unused holes -- it's just a matter of
finding the grommit, and pulling it out.
