12v aux power
By: CountyDorset Date: June 12, 2016, 3:42 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Upon changing the voltage regulator (gauges that tell the truth
again :smilewide:) in the dash of my S3 earlier, I noticed that
the insulation of the positive cable of the aux power point had
seen better days. So I've wrapped it as best I can , but really
should replace and fuse it at the bulkhead. My question is:
where is the wire located? I could see two brown wires entering
through the bulkhead but these look to have come from the
alternator...

Evening,
According to my wiring diagram, the +ve aux dash socket is
powered directly from the battery side (!) of the #1 fuse under
the steering column.
The other brown wire is a spur for power to the light switch.
Cheers,

That socket scares me, straight from the battery and no fuse.
Every land rover where I have seen behind the dash the wire has
started to lose its insulation.
Mine now has new wire and a fuse
