AC Plug?

Block heater??

No for a cell phone/cigartee lighter.

 

[mangus580]

Oh.... whats the question?

Maybe you are referring to a power plug like a cigarette lighter uses. You won't get any AC power from it but will operate the 12V phone cord.

 

[rfischba1]

yes, a power plug . are they hard to install?

Did you mean accessory plug? NO

 

[rfischba1]

can a accessory plug be wired into the fuse box?

Mabey you mean a ACC plug?
Go to a junkyard and get one out of a gm truck. Look at how its mounted and wired.
Bring home and copy it.
I guess CUCV's dont have a ash tray??
So you might have to make your own bracket.

CUCV's have a spot for them, they just arent there.

Be VERY careful where you connect it to the fuse box. Some ports in there are 24v!!

I bought a new cigarette lighter from a parts house for like $5, an inline fuse, and a fuse tap to the 12v constant source in the fuse box and wired mine up. Works great and cost about $20 total.

If you do a search on this forum for "cigarette lighter" you should find it. I also have a diagram in that thread that shows where the 12v constant is.
