wood glue Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 I just bought one of the 12v to 12v battery chargers from halfords, it says the socket into the car with the dead battery needs to be live, is it live by default in the 350 or do I need to rotate the ignition a stop or two? Quote
AlexZ Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Plug something into it without the ignition on and see lol..... Surley if the battery is dead you wouldnt be able to tell anyway? I dont honestly think there normally constant live, well cig lighters normally are but ours are 12v supplies... Quote

wood glue Posted June 29, 2010 Author Posted June 29, 2010 How many clicks of the key do I need to give it to make it live, I'd check myself but the whole reason for this in the first place is a very dead battery! Quote
alessandro Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Is your front one under the passenger airbag? I just got a cup holder there.......... Wood glue: Sorry for high jacking your thread I'll get out now Quote
