Jay see 1997 GU build up

Id probably stick with the 1 amp to be honest as you fuse for wire size and you size your wire by current draw

Cheers Lucus.

I'll put a 1amp inline fuse then.

What gps? Be careful as I tried to do this with my hema hn5 and cut the cord only to find out the ciggie plug actually houses a voltage/amp altering circuit board and it won't work with out the plug or some more extensive modifications to it all. I just rejoined the wires and went back to the plug. Haha. I now have a new cable (many years later)

Yeah good point probably worth checking the plug with a multimeter

Or at least pull it open before cutting to make sure there is only a fuse and nothing else. Or the owners manual should have working voltage details etc.

Thanks for that sooty.
Looks like I'm staying with the cig plugs as both the GPS and camera both have circuit boards.

Well that's annoying.. I wonder what volts they are putting out.

[sooty_10]

Yeah unless your more switched on then me and simply solder a couple of power wires to the circuit board and seal em up / secure them behind dash somewhere etc to mount permanent. I've thought about this but just decided not anytime soon.

Nope. I'm not touching anything.
At the most I'll cut the plug to feed it through to neaten up and then soilder it back on.

Just for an idea heres what Im going to run ontop the dash closest is
water temp in red digital, then a white faced clock as the OE one is
unreadable behind the ecu-Talk and the left gauge is a red digital volt
but that may change,,,the two silver switches are a momentary switch for my air horn
and an on/off fot the driving lights,
Ive also used a 5 to five watherproof plug to keep things flat
