Brown37 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I am in need of advice. I have purchased a used 2001 outback wagon. I did not realize you could only use a Subaru Cig. lighter in the outlet. After blowing a fuse, I read the manual and realized I needed to install an accessory power outlet. The instuctions seem simple, however, I can not figure out how to remove the gray clip in the engine compartment so that I may remove the grommet that is under the clip at the firewall so that I may cut a slit in the firewall. I would also like any advice that might make this installation easier. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9Leader Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 You need to elaborate -- what did you plug in that blew a fuse? Was it cell phone power cord/charger? A mini-vac? An air pump? Which outlet are you talking about -- the one on the dashboard (which should be able to handle more than a cigarette lighter) or the one in the cargo area (which is definitely intended for things other than a cigarette lighter)? I find it hard to believe that the usual suspects (cell phone charger, inverter w/laptop, etc.) would blow a fuse when a regular cigarette lighter would not -- cig lighter's take a lot of juice to get heated up. I have my cell phone power cord/charger plugged in all the time to the dashboard (don't think I've ever used the one in the back). --K9Leader, 2000 OBW Ltd., 46K miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
