More 12V power outlets !

I just mounted two more identical factory 12 volt outlets side by side in same place as existing 12v outlet. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to connect these 3 together ? BTW, I don't plan on plugging anything stronger than a cell phone charger or radar detector.

I would just run a new line to the battery. There is a nice size hole in the firewall on the passenger side that is easy to reach. Just run the wires from the outside in. Took me about 5 minutes to wire my new outlet and it stays on 24/7.

Thanks for the suggestion but I really don't want these on 24/7

I like your idea of side by side outlets. I've also thought of putting 2 in the back of the console for plugging in a cooler or for passenger use in the back.

Can you give me the part # of the outlet ?

I've used an AP-2 fuse panel in the past to power accessories. I may do it again as I want to install a Stubel airhorn and some driving lights as well.

I used an Add-a Fuse to hardware my Radar detector. worked great. read through the manual to see which fuse to tap into. I'm thinking about adding a USB port down there for power next to the 12V Accessory. Also thinking about "hardwiring" my Parrot Minikit slim Bluetooth up by the visor.

I'd like to do one on the rear of the console for the kids when they sit in the back.

I need to get the parts together and figure out how to wire it. I'm an electronics noob.

I already ordered these two parts and gonna add in those 3 dummy holes on the left side of the steering wheels. It's super easy looking at the back of the 12v outlet and I think this can be a good 30 min project with 6 pack beer (Maybe I should do another DIY thread for this even though people WILL talk crap about it... lol)

12v outlet assy.: 39624-SZ3-L01
Square cover assy.: 39620-TA0-003
