Put a 115V Outlet in My Truck Today
Got this Idea from my girl friends pontiac vibe. So i went junkyard searching till I found a wrecked Vibe and pulled the setup from it. I wired the inverter to run off of the cigarette lighter power.. The Inverter fit just nice under the center console. I was patting my self on the back about how clean the install looked when I realised I screwed up , the bottom switch was too long and hit interfered with the cup holder so it was too late to cut a new hole and i guess I will have to deal with it sticking out a bit.
