Ok I have a question if i was to add two more cigarette lighter to my car say one in glove box an one in the trunk do I need to run relays or can i just tap off the factory one? if I do have to run a relay or relays how do I wire it up thanks
if you want it to be on all the time (even with the car off and key out) you dont need a relay. the relay is only there to power off the outlet when the key is switched off. i have added 2 outlets, one is relayed so it shuts off (the one in the cargo area) and one isnt (in the glovebox for the pBox so u can shut the car off for a bit and dont loose output data, same with GPS devices, can refuel without the distance counters resetting, etc)
you have a few open spots on your factory fuse panels, go off of those instead of tapping off the OEM lighter, you may draw too much through it and pop fuses depending on what youre trying to run.
just a reminder, always ALWAYS fuse new power leads.
Ok thanks yea it sounds like I need the relay as it be say for a phone in the glove box an what ever in the trunk I would use the fuse box but those are all taken thru the factory honda assy. I have now Ijust need to know how to wire them up thanks
