Adding a second lighter plug above center console.

If I was just splicing in a second outlet socket above the center console, would this be safe?

Just adding one and leaving it behind the console.

Found this pic on the forum here. Not mine.

 

I can think of better ways to do a splice into the lighter circuit.

Just how much total current draw will you be pulling ??

Any exposed terminals in theory should be insulated to keep from shorting .

Would it happen with my luck most likely .

 

In theory, yes, it would be fine. I added a similar panel in my back seat.

There are other options available unless you specifically want a 12v plug like that.

 

It's for a module I'll be hiding under the center console. Might just add a fuse it.
