additional 12v supply



  172 FF and Fabia VRS
Hi All

i want to add an additional 12v supply in the boot.

is it easy enought to take the supply from the exisiting cig lighter and run it to the rear?

just a thought could i run more than one addional (one to rear seat and one to the boot?)
 
I took a supply from the cig lighter to under my dash for phone/sat nav

The extension works great but the cig lighter doesn't work if something is plugged into the extension

hmmm im curious because i was going to run a cig socket into the middle trim, by the rear window buttons, so people in the back of the motor can charge a phone as well lol. but if it will effect the front, hmmmm.

the additional 12v has turned up with 2 wires. Red and Black.

the feed in the car has 3? can anyone advise which 2 of 3 cables i need to get the feeds from?

electrics is not my strong point

I would imagine the third wire on the factory 12v socket would be for the illuminations.
just grab yourself a meter and test which is the live, earth and then switched live for the illumination and connect your red/black accordingly :)

That is right. I can't remember such colour wire is which though.

Why run a wire from the existing cigarette lighter? Just splice into the interior boot light wire.

When you shut the boot the lights goes off.

Checked tonight, the red/yellow is the main cable with the grey being the other. The blue wire is the lights
 
I tapped into the wires just before the cigarette lighter connector...
The red and yellow is positive and the grey/black ish one is negative. I didn't touch the blue one its for the light
