12v supply in the boot.

Post by grasmere59 »

While i was trying to find a 12v power supply to power the fridge in the caravan when towing it i found that on my estate Peugeot have run a 20 amp supply to the rear of the car which comes from the fusebox (fuse 7) i think,the large red lead terminates in the N/S rear multipin that feeds the rear light cluster,couldn't understand why there was a 20 amp wire going into the light cluster doh!,it has no connection on the light cluster so it just needs cutting from the multipin and a fuse putting in the box and hey presto a 12v supply in the boot,it might be handy to know if someone wants to run a coolbox etc in the boot,i'm not sure what model 406's have it but just have a look at your plug(s) that feed the light clusters and see if you have the large red wire going to it. :)
