cigarette lighter

I am thinking about buying a dash mounted solar panel that plugs into the 12 v socket to trickle charge the starter battery. Can i use either of the two sockets fitted as standard on the dash? Does it have to be unplugged when the engine is running? I've just hard wired my dashcam and i'm...

Hi all, I’m after some help! I’ve searched and looked through lots of the downloads but can’t find the answer. There is a 12v cigarette lighter socket just behind the sliding door on the drivers side and it’s not worked since I’ve had the van. The front socket and the one by the tailgate work...

Hey T6 fellowship At the moment I’m using my t6 as my daily driver, on the job doing road side maintenance. I’ve put a led warning lightbar on the roof, which gets its power from one of the cars 12volt sockets. There a constant power in the plug, even when the ignition is switched off. My...

Hi, does anyone else here find that the socket is a pain, due to how tight the fit is and gives a feel of self destruct on extracting the plug. If so, have you done anything to alleviate having to hold the dash down

All tips and hints gratefully received. How in the big man up stairs name do you get the 12v socket out of the dash. My knuckles are red raw. I can see it, take photos of it. But can I get it out, NO.

Hi all, what's the simplest way of changing the 12v socket on top of the dash on a T6 from permanent live to switched with the ignition. Many thanks..

Hello All, Hopefully someone can help with what I think is a strange one. Bear in mind mines a 2015 T5 not T6 sorry :oops: Whilst recently instaling 2 new leisure batteries and re-wiring the entire setup I noticed I had no power to the cup holder cig lighter socket and read on here that the...

Good Morning, I am looking for the power supply/ fuse is located for the top dash 12v supply. I have checked against the forum fuse charts and cannot locate said supply. Also, can anyone advise what the power supplies are that are located under the passenger...

Hello I'm looking to replace the 12V cigarette port in my T6 with a dual USB charging point. Has anyone done the same and is it pretty straight forward? Thanks in advance

Has anybody removed the cigarette lighter socket from the lower dashboard from their van's? Is it easy to do? Do I need to take the dashboard apart? Any tips would be welcome.

Hi guys My dash cam fuse plug burned out and became dismantled in the socket - don't know how! I had to fish out the remaining parts, cue sparks etc. Now the socket is dead, so I assume the fuse for this has gone?? If so, how do I go about identifying the fuse and replacing it? Thanks in...

Does anyone have anything in this blank panel show below? What does VW fit here? Looks like it’d be prime for a USB or 12v socket.

I built one of these into the panel beside the sliding door on our van. It hasn't been used much, but seemed to work fine the odd time we have used it with a bike washer. I tried it today with a new awning light, and it doesn't work. There is something about the shape of it internally that...

Hi, Done some search, but haven't found a proper answer What is the behaviour of the 12v / cigarette lighters in the cabin next to gear stick and on top of dashboard (at least for Transporter, Caravelle might have different behaviour again?) so when i turn off the engine, they both remain...

I have a T6 with the factory fit aux. battery. Have asked the dealer whether the dash top and dash front 12v sockets are connected to the main battery or the aux, but they can't tell me. Doesn't anyone know which battery the 12v sockets are connected to? Want to run a cool box this weekend...

All, When I got my new van last year the cigarette lighter on top of the Dash (not the one on the front) was blown. No-one on this forum or other forums could identify what fuse serves it. Older T6's had a fuse under the seat but not mine. Now resolved by a young apprentice in Leicester. it is...
