Thread: 12V Power location on Puma?

Another thought, which may or may not be helpful.
There is a cigarette plug in the rear just inside the rear door on the passenger side. If you could find where it picks up the power (I haven't traced it back, so I'm not sure), and it is not behind the dash, then you may avoid having to pull the dash apart. Just a thought.
Another option might be to pick up the power at the alternator? My lightbar gets its power there.
Just another thought.

I tried a reasonably easily accessible source off of the alternator, but that is a 12v constant, and so powers the lights even with the vehicle off. The Puma engine bay appears to be more tightly packed than my TD5, so any access tips would be appreciated.

Thank you,

On my D2 Td5 i will use an “add a fuse” to pick up 12v from the ECM fuse in the engine compartment fuse box. This will switch a relay to power the running lights direct from the cranking battery.
