Default Adding 12 volt Outlets

I usually add a separate fuse block inside the car so I can install additional 12v outlets and accessories. Is there an easy way to get a wire from the battery through the firewall in a 2015 Fit?

I just used one of these and a Marinco 12V ACC socket in my EG.



Put it in the original fuse for the lighter and add a fuse of equal value for the new socket. Bada bing, bada boom DONE.

Look to where the A/C hose go into the cabin. Tape the wire you want to use to a straightened coat hanger. Carefully push the hanger along the hose into the cabin go inside or have someone inside pull the hanger until the wire is inside.

Do you have a link for that? Is it for the small size fuses?

Got it!

Just go to your local auto parts store and pluck the one you want off the shelf.

I found a spot above the passenger's feet and ran a wire through there from the battery. A chopstick poked through the grommet, with a wire taped to it. That went to a fuse block and two 12v outlets. I decided to put a switch in one of the blanks on the left to turn the fuse block on and off, just for safety. I found these on Amazon, made by Laser Blue.
