Ok guys, I have the P38 battery gremlin.... yup, I wake up to a flat battery if I leave the Tank standing for a couple of days.
I've disconnected the RF unit aerial, which helps, and I've ordered a power cut-out unit to put in the power feed for the RF unit... yeah, I'll be the guy with two fobs lol... but I want to use a solar panel to trickle charge the battery.
I found a great one on t'interwebby, bought it, popped the lead in and........ it doesn't work.
Turns out my cigarette socket isn't permanently live, which means when I switch the ignition off it wont allow the solar panel to work.
So, (and congrats for sticking with this, soz to go on lol) how do I make the socket permanently live?
Please, keep it simple, use small words and colours, and please start with how the hell do I remove the trim the socket sits in without breaking it?
