[QUOTE="user 213, post: 1393332, member: 213"] What he said. The wiring for the oem glovebox power port is tiny. You might get lucky once or twice, or just start a fire the first time you try it. Not worth the hassle. Lots of people just wire in a fused SAE pigtail, like used with Battery Tenders or various heated gear. My heated gear uses a Co-Ax connector, but my Optimate 3 maintenance charger does use a fused SAE plug, so that's where i plug in for the Slime pump. I just cut off the cig plug and wired up an SAE plug on the compressor. I have adapters, but just didn't want to have to dig anything else out if I was fixing a flat. SAE plugs can be found in the trailer wiring section of most NAPA stores. They come in a loop, with two connectors. Pay attention if you are using both to wire up devices, as the positive wire needs to be the recessed one, not the exposed pin. Color codes will be correct, (red for pos, black for neg), on ONE of those, with the other reversed. I screwed this up once on a GPS connection. Made for a mystery short when the unplugged GPS power connector would bump against the bars and pop the fuse. [/QUOTE]
