Fuse for cigarette lighter

[grs]

Can't find the fuse for the lighter. My truck never had a lighter. I installed a outlet for my Garmin GPS. . I found a red hot wire where the lighter would be. The outlet was messed up and it grounded out , and popped the horn fuse. Was the lighter also on the horn fuse. Thanks for any help.

16OR-I40 is the wire you are using....

Its possibly factory missed, previous owner removed, who knows, that circuit is crazy, ive followed and clipped, and what not all with these wires on this circuit.... space is tight.

It is capable of charging a gps, brief intervals of use with cig lighter, but i wouldent push it, this line is also the hot to your dome lights, so doors open, lights on, 2 ppl light up, POP! blow a fuse.

I reccomend taking advantage of the spare terminals on your fuse panel, run off an ac circuit, they should be 30a? run a wire off that male, with an inline blade type, 10a if used with cig lighter, 5-7a if just gps

Thanks. There is no lighter in the truck, and I think I will not have an interior light bulb. I may have the doors open all day at a car show.

I found out that the lighter is on the same fuse as the horn. Along with a few other things.

i've used a rear heater switch to run the dome light
up grounds to the body (gives paasenger control),down is normal ,
but the the door pin wires need to go together before the switch

I like that idea. I may use a toggle switch. Thanks for the idea.

For me i had the switch and the hole there already and removed the heater
