Torch.

I am trying to fit the rechargable torch to my 75 Conn cdt. The torch base and wiring went in very easily but when I got to the fuse box I expected to find at most one wire. I have two as I had the excellent powerfold mirror mod from Wyn fitted and the spark has taken the power from where the torch wires should go. Is there anywhere I can take the torch power from?.

Easiest place could be the cigar lighter feed - reachable from beihnd the console or by removing the ash tray.

Thanks Mike for the quick reply. There are two wires in the torch connecting block, I think green and black, can you tell me where both of these wires can be fitted to the cigar lighter?. John.

Hi John The black wire need to go to ground the other to the positive feed on the cigar lighter

I have been told how to wire the rechargable torch to the cigar lighter but dont know how to get at the lighter, do I prise the lighter panel off or start further up and work down to the lighter> Many thanks, John.
