Thanks, that's good to know. I'm going to get some bigger ring terminals to ground my wires, because there's a screw that I can use, but it's too big. I'll get a few nuts and bolts while I'm at it to make it extra secure. Wouldn't want a ground wire slipping out.

I was thinking the same thing. I have 12G in line fuse holders that I'd hook up to the battery end, but I would prefer it to go on with the car for just those reasons. I don't want to try to rely on my memory and one day forget something charging in there and it's dead in the morning. Now that...

ring terminals too small to go over car battery So, while someone was installing my ignition key cylinder, I decided to start hooking up my cigarette lighter sockets, running the wires and everything. They said I should just connect it to the car battery instead of trying to get to the wires...

Yay, I'm practically ready. I can start working on it tomorrow morning if I can get the professional to install the lock cylinder any time soon, lol. I don't have the fuse box terminal yet, but I can drill, and wire everything else and have it set up so it's only waiting for the fuse box to...

Okay. Good thing you guys said something about that. I haven't turned my car on in a while because the lock cylinder needs changing, so I was just going to go in there, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks. I really need to work on my wording, lol. *EDIT*I'm basically going to take the wires that were connected to the cigarette lighter and remove the ends closest to the accessory port -thx that's the word I was looking for- (paying attention to which went where) and connect that part to...

You guys are so helpful! Thanks :) This is the tool that I ordered online. A little el-cheapo multi use one since I don't anticipate using it more than once in a while. I think I'll attach the majority of my wires to the 6-way terminal fuse box before I go under the dash. The only ones I'd have...

Ok, just used it. :)

Which one would you use? With Screws, or connectors? My cigarette lighter sockets are coming from China, so they will take a while to get here anyway. There are 3 fuse box distribution blocks that I'm looking at on eBay. One has screws, (China) one has a male connectors, (China) and the...

Yay! Thanks! I'm going to try to find something like that but with blade fuses (only because I bought a bunch of blade fuses already, lol) but this looks awesome! If you can think of it, someone already invented it. :)

Ok Berkeman, I think I see what I can do with this. Looks like it'd have to be hooked directly to the battery, right? Then I can turn on the switch when I'm ready to use it. I wish I could find something exactly like that that would turn on with the car like the accessories in the car do. That's...

I'm an eBay junkie. I just made a whole bunch of purchases on eBay a few days ago, but if you add one for eBay, I'll try to remember to use the link. I've got some eBay bucks to burn starting October 3rd too. ;)

I wanted to install a few cigarette lighters in my old 1996 Toyota Camry that my sister just gave me since it only comes with one, and I want to have a dash cam/parking cam AND to charge my phone, and while I'm at it, add one in the back. I located the fuse box, and will find an accessory fuse...
