Any specific relay that you swopped over, Cheet? John

£5 for a 12v 40a relay from maplin and works a treat!

Good job Cheet22... I will have a closer look today at my box to see what's going on.

The problem is if there is indeed a bridge somewhere then putting a relay in will not overcome it. It will still be bridged and you won't be any further on finding out what is in place. John

Any technician/electrician here that can help me point out what to check first? I'm not to good in understanding the electrical diagram.

As I understand it the Socket in the rear luggage space is not a Cigar socket but an Auxiliary socket so it's operation will not be affected by the relay position on the rear fuseboard.

You can buy inline voltage sensitive relays. You plug them in between the fridge and the accessory socket and it will switch the fridge off when the car battery drops below a certain level. |

I've had a look at the wiring diagrams and it appears the cigar sockets can be wired ignition controlled or not.

@ zirconblue: I know... But I don't like them to much... I will be installing headrest screens in the near future and I want to connect them to the aux socket wiring (cubby box). In fact i'm not planning on using the sockets at all but only the wiring to them.. I don't like it to much when connectors stick out of the sockets. So I'm looking at a more permanent fix.
