Auxiliary power.

Was wondering where there is a power source
That comes on and off with the key. My cb
Is hooked straight to the battery. And I forget to
Turn it off. Sue me I'm a damn stoner!
Anyway is there a easy power source out there
That will only be on when the ignition is?
Thanks.

 

cig lighter.

 

Can I just splice it into one of the lighter
Or should I do away with the lighter all together?

 

You can do either. Just keep in mind that the power point socket current rating will be reduced by the amount of the current draw of the CB.

 

Maybe lay off the pot???

 

I hope you have your green card

 

you could put a relay on the cigeratte lighter I think...

you wouldn't take away from the 100 watt rating of your cig lighter

 

I put a solenoid on the ignition. It triggers when the key is on. works fine also added a blue sea fuse block. Looks like a pound of spaghetti under the hood but works great and safe.
