Splicing underneath lighter socket
Posted: 25 Jul 2014, 09:52
OK - I won't bore you with all the details but I have a handy cigarette lighter socket in the back of the van powered by the leisure battery.
Without disturbing this socket (which has a multitude of uses) I want to install a cd autochanger and "set" it into the wooden worktop next to the socket.
My question is this.
Is there any reason why I cannot splice into the positive and negative feeds to the lighter socket in order to power the CD?
In other words, split the wire from the leisure battery to power 1) the lighter socket AND 2) the cd player?
It all sounds quite reasonable to me.
Any problems envisaged?
Thanks chaps
