12v in the centre console?

Moleshome · Nov 12, 2011

I'm sure I remember seeing that there was a 12v auxiliary socket available as an optional extra that fitted in the back of the console between the seats. Is 12v available there or would I need to run an extension from somewhere else?

As far as I recall, back in the days of the first FLs the top models had a rear ashtray with a cigarette lighter socket in the rear of the centre consul.

My first FL in 2002 certainly had this and I used it for fridge, pumps etc.

My current FL a 2004 HSE did not have one.

The rear of the centre consul has nothing at all.

I have a LR option kit fitted behind the rear seats on the nearside, just below the roller cover thing.

It picks up power from a junction box behind the panelling, even further back just ahead of the rear light cluster.

Hope this helps.

the wiring is there already, if you unscrew the cubby box and take it out you will see a white connector with purple and black wires running from it, this is the connector that would hook up to the 12v aux socket and is already live and fused. i managed to pick up a centre console with the socket/ashtray option (fitted as standard to es/hse models) but fi you can't find one just get a 12v socket and away you go

Excellent, thanks very much. That's tomorrows job then.

And mine - I need another socket for charging phones without interfering with the other things I have in the front cigar lighter.

Thanks for that info.

My 1998 Xei has the early centre console without the cubby box and had a rear 12v socket. Wiring should be there under the console

12v in the centre console?
