HELP!!! Cig. Lighter: 9 ohms between POS and GROUND????

Randolph coughed up:

I'm planning on hanging my own cig socket off of the power that we
discussed.

Is it ok to use a bolt on the chassis for ground? I know that the chassis
/is/ ground anyway, but should I find a "cleaner" ground of some kind?

Also, what are the potential ill effects should someone plug in something
more hefty than my phone charger into something grounded directly to the
chassis?

Almost there (in the short term until I get the manual or someone helps me
pull out the /normal/ cigarette lighter socket.)

Thanks!

 

The fuse box (item 5 at http://tinyurl.com/6zl23) is only about $60 from
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. They add about $5 for handling and
count on another $5 for shipping.

Well, isn't his your lucky day. See http://tinyurl.com/6xhvs. (this goes

stereo in your car, and part of that process is to take off the panel
where the lighter sits.

That would be perfectly fine. I usually crimp a ring terminal to my
ground wire and mount in to a chassis bolt.

If the chassis connection is good and tight, you are fine with any load
you can realistically plug in to your outlet.

WOW. Thanks.

A very small complaint is that the dash shown is /not/ the 99 CRV that I
have. Mine does not have that bottom tip-out tray. It is an empty flat
area for eyeglasses, dirt, dust.

This means that the screws it indicates are not there. It will be small
work to figure the rest out, though I have already tried (again). Hopefully
I not /too/ awfully dense, unless I've already proven otherwise here

*Thanks* for the heads up on the install site. Is it a submission based
site? I've often thought that such a free-based instructions site would be
perfect. It could take any instructions offered by others, with or without
pictures, and would offer others for the exact same thing, should
duplicates, better or worse, be submitted.
