wiring in ps2
Thursday, October 13, 2005 3:50 PM
so as far as i know, my 2000 cavalier has only 1 cigarette lighter style 12v outlet, correct? and it's right by the steering wheel, so not exactly a great place to have a wire always plugged into. how should i go about doing some custom wiring for a ps2? i have a power inverter that goes into the cigarette lighter, and i guess the best place to have all this would be in the glove box.

just splice the wire for it directly to the inverter instead of plugging it in...make a fuse tap/block and have it switched

If I were you I'd just run a power wire from the fuse box and then ground the other one out.

I have my power inverter underneath my center console, it fits perfectly in the space in front of the cupholder/s

isn't there a plug that goes directly into the cigarete lighter for PS1? at least?
the PS1 and PS2 plugs are the same.....
do why should you go throug an inverter, to drop the voltage again.......?

Yeah. check into that..........

Installing that PS2 was some fun stuff... Taking it all out was even more fun tho Now putting it all back in should be amazing!

OK, obviosly i should have explained it better........
if you find that cigarete lighter plug that plugs STRAIGHT into the PS w/o going through a converter, then you CUT the plug off, and hard wire it in.....
if you want i can do the search for you, it'lll be later tonite...... so by tommorow check this post, for exact instructions, and links.
granted that it exists, which i think it does.

Can't you just buy a female socket, wire it up (with a fuse of course), hide it behind the dash, and mount the inverter there too?
