Re: 1999 CRV: Modify Cig Lighter to "always on"
i would doubt that the cigerette outlet has its own fuse, the best way to do
this in my opinion is to get in back of the cigerette lighter outlet and
remove the pos wire from the back of it, then get some pretty heavy gauge
wire and connect it to the back of the cig lighter outlet with a connector
that matches the honda connector. you can then wire it directly to the
battery but make sure you add a fuse in the wire right next to the battery.
if you dont feel like running wire through the firewall, then get one of
those $1.99 fuse tap connectors from radio shack and piggy back on a fuse
that is always on. Make sure you get the right side of the fuse that cuts
out when the fuse blows. Also, im not sure if that car actually has a fuse
that is always live.
Ps make sure you tape up the wire you disconnect from the cigerette lighter
outlet.
