Ciggy lighter...

Post by BongoBongo123 » Sat Jun 14, 2014 9:56 pm

Is this run off the leisure battery or the engine battery ?

Thinking about a 12V fan.

Must be engine battery as I have not got a leisure one and both my cig sockets (front and back) work fine? Unless someone has done a little fiddling with yours?

If you have a L/B then the sockets are very often the first circuit switched over to the L/B along with the radio etc.

We have seen one vehicle with the S/B and L/B swapped around at 2013 Bongo Bash!! Needless to say the installation was very poor and nothing had been connected to the L/B either ....
