new post concerning cheap dash cams

[workingonit]

Late yesterday P.M., I located a Cigarette Lighter Plug Extension Cable in my spares box, and ran it beside the rear passenger's seat back, under the floor mat, under the front seat, and plugged it into the Cigarette Lighter Splitter I have been using since 6/21 (the first thing I added, so I could power more than one accessory via the front outlet). This splitter has an on/off main switch (with voltage gauge) and three more on/off switches on its' side, so I have more control, besides the main switched outlet.


It tested OK, but the length was a little short, and I didn't like running it under floor mats, so I tried re-routing it, and ended-up tearing up the brittle plastic plug, somehow. So, I was about to order a new, longer extension, when I read your (X5chemist) last post. So, I went back out, and tested all the fuses in the rear fuse and relay panel, and found that all are always hot. Then, I tried probing the empty socket for the "heated rear seat relay", and wasn't able to find the control circuit pin, that triggers the relay. I'll have to find my SG Tool Aid 23500 Back Probe Kit (I have tools everywhere, but never can find what I need, right then), to probe it using thinner probes. Meanwhile, I'm going to order a 13ft extension, anyway (if not used for this project, it'll work for another).
