I bought a heavy duty 12V tire inflator - How many amp is our socket?

Do you guys know how many amp is our 12V cigarette lighter power socket.

The front dash? The middle console?

I'm 99% that they are both using 15A fast burn fuses.

If I were you I would build something that connects directly to the battery, and has a cigarette lighter female attachment at the other. I spent some time Googling this and came up with nothing. Making something like this would take <1hr and require basic electrical knowledge and would be the safest way of running a high current drawing device like a compressor.

Had a quick look on GOOGLE...

This one has several different ways of Wiring it in.

Thanks for the reply. I bought the SLIME heavy duty tire compressor.

Takes about 3 minutes to fully inflate regular tire.



only $50.xx at WALMART. Regular price is $79.99

This one needs 15 amp to power it up..... I`ll check that female cigarette

lighter connector and split it to - and + directly to the battery.
