My Switched 12v outlet mod
So I needed a "auto" swiched 12v outlet near the driver side (radar detector). After long searching and reading fuseboxes I had a "Light bulb" moment.
I knew the 12v outlet in the glovebox was swiched and after removing the 2 dash side covers I saw a pipe that looked like it ran strait across to the diver side so here is what I came up with:
I Took a 1 to 2 12v outlet adapter and added in 8 feet of wire:
Then ran the wire down the next to the Glove box and back into the side panel:
Now I ran it thought that pipe to the driverside:
Driver side:
Then I ran it along the door cover to the rearview mirror to the radar detector.
I hope this helps some of you as well.
