Torch and charging socket
I’ve had an original torch & socket gathering dust in the garage since my daughter’s 2002 V6 met its end. I know the torch isn’t up to much but the socket could be handy however my 2004 has the later type fuse box.
The blue plug has a green, black & purple going into it, ideas please as to how I wire this into the existing loom or cig. lighter loom, are the same colours present? Regards |

You wont need to worry about colors, if you have a multimeter.

I wired mine into the fuse box behind the glove box. All I did was to plug a piggy back fuse connector into an ignition switched supply.
That gives me one socket that is ignition switched along with the original that’s live all the time. |
