Have you ever received a product that looks amazing, but the plug was just hideous? This can be a real problem, especially when you care about the look of your car’s interior. Fortunately, there’s a solution, and it’s easier than you might think.
The first step is to get a cigarette lighter – dual USB plug, which is a small device that allows you to plug in two USB cables at once. However, this device usually comes with an ugly-looking trigger that you’ll need to cut off. Once you’ve done that, remove one of the USB plugs and keep the other one.
Next, take the USB plug and bury it under your dashboard. This will give you the option to hardwire your accessory, which is a much better option if you want everything hidden and looking nice.
To wire this up, you’ll need a few things, including a standard ring terminal, a fuse panel, a standard ATC fuse, a male or female terminal, and a test light. First, black out your grounds using a ring terminal. Then, take your wire and extend it to your fuse panel. Once you’ve found an accessory circuit that works, use a test light to check both sides of the power.
Once you’ve found the side that’s not hot, insert the fuse into the fuse panel and put the insulated female on there. This will provide you with a power source and ground, and you can extend it out and plug it into your accessory.
By following these simple steps, you can plug something into your car without worrying about the look of your interior. Plus, your wiring will be nice and clean, which is always a great thing.
