Accessory Socket In Boot

Parker · 2nd April 2009, 15:04

I'm looking to put an electrical accessory socket in the boot, is there a satisfactory supply there I can pick up or do you recommend just taking it from the fuse box?

Thanks for any info.

Take it from the fuse box or direct from the battery as I have done. If you take it from the battery make sure you put a inline fuse somewhere in the line.

Remember. You only need one cable as you can 'earth' it in the boot.

Ok thanks for that, I'll take it from the fuse box as I did for the glovebox. I bought a few of those biggy back fuse holders which makes wiring very easy and no need to wire in line fuse then. Cheers

Hi Gincap your idea of using a piggy back fuse is ideal as it also protects your cable all the way to and includng the socket, best wishes woolleysox
