Mike,, If its 12v aux sockets you mean,, There are meant to be 2 power supply feeds fitted , certainly on the 90 and 110XS,,
I found one on mine,, behind the speaker panel, r/hand rear,, Black and Purple wire, Their is meant to be a second one somewhere, about halfway back,, Both projected by a fuse in position 2 (Accessory socket) in the under seat fuse box California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

Great - i shall have a look...although i might wire something direct so i can plug the roof tent light in without the key.
Does the socket fit in that same panel? Mike |

Mike
I fitted a socket (these http://www.towsure.com/product/1923-Cigar_Lighter_Socket ) either side of the rear door, into the speaker panel , If you use the factory loom, they are rated at 20amp, and always powered,, I runs the tent power feed from one, the other is used for the Engle, with a low voltage switch My power feed was dead, until i trace the lead back, and found a joint connector fixed to the brake servo bracket under the bonnet, somehow, this connector was not making contact, !!!

Thats good news - ive got one of those (actually in its own housing)
So if i can find the Black/purple wire then i may be in business with a none switched feed - thats great news thanks. hopefully it will just work - i assume no additional fuses required as it uses one in the box? Mike |

Not from the factory One of the reasons we all run defender, is the ability to do what ever you want,, Would be easy to run a power socket to where ever you want California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

I also have this black and purple wire, indeed permanently live, and I just installed a second 12V cigarette lighter type power socket (from Mud) in the rear speaker panel. While I was testing it with a 5amp coolbox it all worked perfectly, but during the initial remounting of the speaker panel one of the wires came loose, and I suspect this must have blown the fuse as no more power now, even if all is wired up properly now. I have looked inside the fuse box under the seat, but all fuses there seem ok at first glance. So which fuse is it exactly that is protecting this purple and black permanent power feed? Not sure what postion 2 really means. If it is a 15A fuse, there is only one in my fuse box, and that seems ok. All other fuses are 20A or bigger... Any help here?

Have a look here http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic17923.html
The CTEK can be fitted as an "unbilical", or as a carling switch sized outlet, and the traffic lights show the condition of the battery to warn you if you start to drain it too much
You can connect a charger, or use it as a fused outlet... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

Martin, thanks for the link, but I think we do not talk about the same topic.
What I refer to, and with me this entire thread I now continue, is about in the back of the truck, behind one of the speaker panels, a purple and a black wire, which are live and which are fuse protected. I surely have blown the fuse, and would like to know which fuse is this exactly. Êasiest would be with a picture. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Apologies, Eric, my reply was more in line with this earlier comment:
Eric - I think you need this thread: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic9330.html?highlight=c1692 ???

No apology needed Martin
Still interested to hear if anybody can point me clearly to which fuse this purple and black wires are connected. Eric You never actually own a Defender.
