Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Ok, I'm looking for a power point close to my dash to save routering through fire wall. Is this what I'm looking for?
    Both pictures are relay board under steering wheel, second one is base off relay board... fld345.jpg

    I will be adding a new socket, I will be adding new interior lighting, and I will be running a positive(live)to a new separate front fog switch.. Actually I will be running interior lighting from a switch. Probably some other stuff in the future, I have a dash accident camera just plugged into cig socket!

    Won't you have to run wiring from the switch to the fogs? Are you using a relay for the fogs?

    Yes I'm using a relay and I have access through firewall, I just don't want to be using battery terminal every time I want to do a bit off wiring!

    75x is a switched 12v afaik. Verify with multimeter, but I think I used that for a car kit before.
    You using that as signal for the fog lights relay? Or power?
    Id prefer to switch a tap from the parking lights as signal, and take power from battery but hey, thats me.

    Should be fine for other stuff, use an inline fuse maybe?

    And what about the 2 terminals beside 75x, I assume I can just check with multimeter and hook up whatever I like. Am I right:confused: it's not gonna cause any harm or take any power away from something else!!All those power points would be perfect location for me, Anyone have a definitive answer...
