Title: Consequences, tips or cunning plans for wanting to go OTT with the ciggy lighter
Post by: scooby_si on June 14, 2004, 08:24:33 PM
no i aint guna start smoking just to abuse it but i do have far too many gadgets which want plugging into such a device. Now i have a halfords split to 3 socket stylee thing (which yer not supposed to use the middle one for ) but i have more devices for that anyway so need to get an alternative set up.
So hard wiring i guess is the only real solution, or can you get like a 5 way splitter or sumin, but wondered if there was anything to be careful of or possible overloading or owt anywhere.....?
Any ideas would be good i like me toys & they are all usefull
Cheers
Si

You\'ll just have to leave the \'nodding-light-up smily\' off the dash, along with the musical, rotating \'toblerone bar\'.

But what are all these gadgets you have - please tell.

Why not take a feed off the stereo ign feed, run that through a relay which switches on a fused power supply directly from the battery.  You can add a switch to turn on and off the extra items all together, or individually, and bobs your brother\'s father\'s sister in law\'s fathers wife\'s grandsons sister\'s aunty\'s brother

Wel, I didn\'t know how else to break the terrible news about Si to you.  After all, you both seem so happy together...  ((Could be worse - you could be in love with Grinder.  And he hasn\'t got long left once Gurj gets hold of him...)

it cant be that hard to hard wire all the stuff into one place ?

i have some stuff in mine and i just spurred it from the back of the cig lighter

this way it still runs thru a fuse and the dash is nice and neat without a load of stuff sticking out

( and si or bish cannot use the words :

hard
spurred
sticking out

in there next post :) )

QuoteStuff in one place... stuff in mine...
Ummmm.... *grin*

Let\'s see, I put the dash in the oven about 6 months after getting the car.  Cost me about £25...

Si - how much damage did you do to yours in the first 6 months... *innocent whistling*

(http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/aetsch/cheeky-smiley-012.gif) so there!
