12v

Can anyone tell me the best place to hard wire an additional 12v outlet to on a 2010 E350 W212. I don't want to splice wires if I can help it. There is no fuse box in the dash area - hence the question. Photos would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have a trickle charger which I use but on this SL it looks like I can't use it. It looks to be a switched positive rather than permanent live. Has anyone altered this? What's the alternative as it has a cigar fitting. Don't really want to use crocodile clips on the battery.

This is a strange one: Both my sun visors have a vanity mirror and the light in the roof lining comes on, but only on the drivers side? Swapped both lamp holders around although both do work on the drivers side only and both bulbs work fine. Both sides have 12v+ present when the flap is...

Today I bought an EE Buzzard 2 car wifi thingy, which plugs directly into a 12v power socket, and transmits a 4G wifi signal. Perfect for our caravan, or so I thought! I tried to plug it in to both of the 12v sockets in the caravan, only to find that the "nose" is too long on the plug meaning...

Hi can anyone tell me what the power rating is for the 12v socket in the rear (Estate) on the C-Class please. I know some are rated a 10 amps and that most later designed cars (all makes) have 20 amp rating. But did Merc uprate when they facelifted the C or was it always 20 amp? Cheers guys

Hello, I would like to fit a Coyote S to the top of the dashboard on my W203. Can anybody give any tips on neatest way to install 12v power supply? I don't want cables trailing down to the fag lighter, so ideally would like to lead cable from dashboard/windscreen intersection.

Simple question: I see there's a blanking plate inside the centre storage box in my W164 ML350 (I don't have the phone cradle option - just the storage bin) and wondered whether it would be possible to retrofit a 12v cigar lighter socket in there ? I had a W163 before this one and it was really...

Hi all, I am looking for the nearest permanent/unswitched 12v source for an aftermarket head end audio unit. The device I have requires a permanent 12v source as well as a switched feed. I have tried the cigar lighter but it also appears to be switched. In a w204 (2010), where is the...

Hello – My 93 220CE had an intermittent stereo cut-out problem (aftermarket mid-90s Sony head unit / CD Changer) - Head unit would apparently lose power, then a few seconds later come back to life, and continue where it left off - The frequency of the problem was highly variable, sometimes...

Afternoon* I found something strange today and wondered if anyone can help.* Reading the manual for the car it states I should have a 12v socket in the rear of the cabin under the rear vents.* However the compartment where the 12v socket should be doesn't open. I have the luxury climate...

Hi, Wondering if you could give possible solutions for a problem I have The car won't start but it has a good ignition spark, I can hear the fuel pump working and have pressurised fuel either side of the fuel distributor (inlet and return) however no fuel to the injector when cranking over...

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I'm after a Genuine Mercedes 12v battery for a diesel merc. It must be 100AH and 760A. Thanks

Where can I pick up a 12V supply that is activated by selecting reverse on my C180K (05 Saloon/Classic), I'm fitting a Parking Sensor and the current draw is minimal, any of you experts already installed one?

Hi All While trying to re-root an audio AUX lead, I took the "ashtray" out and noticed a prism illumination arrangement from a the bulb attached to the power socket to the 'roof' of the enclosure. The bulb is dead and I can not figure out how it comes apart - it seems the bulb holder pulls away...

Hi again! I use quite a lot of devices in my car and I'd love a wee project to wire in some more 12v sockets and an inverter (all of which I have purchased). The issue is me, I have no experience working on car wiring. Please could you suggest where I might locate a feed for my 12v...

Can anyone recommend a 12v tyre inflator. Prezzie for my Dad as he has managed to burn out the last two!! Thanking you

I will when the bits arrive be installing a gps mileage logger to the Mercedes. I suspect it will pay for itself in very little time, just in making me record business trips that I forget.... The tracker sits on the dash (a small 5cm black oval), and connects to power. The suppliers suggest...
