Has anyone seen inside a 2001 Durango? There's like six outlets throughout the thing.

I don't usually charge my phone in the car... I have 4 tubes of blacklight

chlorine - are you running the blacklights by plugging them into the outlet? If so, you ought to hard wire them to a switch.

Chlorine · 03-24-2002

ya I am... I didn't bother about hardwiring them before... I might consider doing that... actually, the plugs on two of them has a switch so it's not that inconvenient

when you say I ought to, do you mean I ought to because it's more convenient or because it's safer?

conveinence (one on-off switch) and for looks (hiding wires and such). I don't think that they are pulling more power than the socket can handle, so there isn't any electrical hazard.

nice site i know i will use that sometime

It's not a bad idea...seems a bit pricey tho...especially since you can get the whole thing at Wal-Mart for like $7...or you can just get the extra lighter for $5...but that's just me.

HEY! You're all making it a lot more difficult that it should be! A simple 5 minute installation of a 1-4 adapter is what I put in my car to add extra outlets. I ran the wire for the adapter right underneath the center console. So, there is a plug in the outlet, then the wire is tucked into the space between the dash and center console. If you need to access it fairly frequently, you can just tuck it back behind the center console panel on either side by the driver's or passenger's feet. I have mine connected to neons, so it goes back inside the center console and is sitting right next to the e-brake, inside the console.(that piece of th econsole is held in by tabs, so a good wuick pull will pop it off, just need the e-brake pulled up). e-mail me at manahoonie@yahoo.com for pics!

The diy was pretty cool. I did the same in my civic and it works great.

I did this a while back since I hated it when couldn't use my power outlet with a drink in my cup holder. Also, there are times when I like to use more than one accessory, and needed another plug but wanted something cleaner than a multi outlet adapter. The only place I could find that would somewhat appear to look like a factory install with enough room for the hardware was in back of the center console above the rear cupholder.
