Hi all,
I've got a dashcam and a DAB radio (Pure Highway) both running from a cigarette lighter extension lead, and despite my best efforts in trying to remember to unplug it every time I switch off the car, I managed to forget recently and the battery went flat! So I then decided I needed to wire in a new switched 12v circuit. I've got all the bits, a fuse piggy back cable, some 12v cable, wire strippers/crimping tool, bullet connectors, etc. I've checked with a multimeter to ensure the piggy back fuse is connected to a circuit that's only live when the ignition is on, but I feel like I'm missing something really obvious - the piggy back cable only has a live connector, so other than sticking the neutral to somewhere on the car body (which isn't really practical), where can I tap into in the dashboard (I don't mind which side but it would be neater if it was near the glovebox) to connect up the neutral side of my circuit in a neat and tidy way?
Thanks in advance for your help.
