Is there aux socket wiring on a MKII?
I have a Facelift 75. Fuse 5 and 6 in the passenger foot well show as accessories.
The two fuses are missing but there have power, 5 I think all the time and 6 is ignition switched. Where would the other end of the wiring be for me to connect to? Behind the ashtray? What am I looking for? macafee2 |

On my MK2, I found an ignition switch empty fuse position for the cubby hole torch supply and a permanent live for the power socket.
I got some piggy back fuse holders and just plugged them into the fuse box (behind the glove box). The two positions I used only had power running to one end of the fuse box - other end had no contact in it, the piggy back holders plugged straight in and gave you a wire tail to connect your wiring to. |

cheers. I've used a piggy back in 6. I see you say other end has no contact, agh so no wiring
I wonder how hard to connect into the back of the fuse box and do a proper job? Have also marked up my owners manual and labelled the cable I've run in. This has been a good exercise as I may have a spare wire running up to my centre light that can be switched as well for use with dash cam macafee2 |

The end you can see supplies the power, if you plug one end of the “piggyback “ connector into it so that the power flows through the fuse you don’t need to connect anymore wires into the fusebox.
Hope that makes sense |

I think I read somewhere that you can retro fit the missing terminals into the fuse box, but it would probably mean the removal of the fusebox from the car for fitting.
