Re: Connection

Could be good - saw this........on the description."please check that your cigarette lighter is live when the ignition is OFF. The accessory plug lead is wired for NEGATIVE EARTH vehicles – if you have a positive earth vehicle it is necessary to rewire the plug accordingly – this is a simple job as screw terminals " - again i assume its a straight switch job? if so thanks im sorted. Presumably just split n wire? im rubbish at electrics as you probably guessed................give me a mech failure anytime.
