1998 S70 -- steady 12 volts

Post by mar601 »

Thought I'd ask to save time but does anyone know where I can grab a steady 12 volts (battery -- non switched) in the cabin? Is that 12v cigarette lighter on the front console always on?

Ideally I want to give the cigarette lighter in the rear a constant 12 volts, if anyone knows -- maybe I can jump somewhere in the fusebox or something? thanks

There is an accessory connector you can wire into.

Let me see if I can find the info on which hole has the constant 12V.

Looks like you want pin 1 but it is in the owner's manual
