- I replaced one of my cigarette lighters with a 2 port USB port. Very easy to do and inexpensive. Pull the fuse out before doing the job or you can potentially blow the fuse. Get the USB port here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...

Great video bro, you’re the only one that actually says what color wire is hot and I watched a few different videos. Great job, keep up the great work
Might have blown a fuse when you cut both the power and ground at the same time causing a dead short. Really should cut the wires individually
That's exactly what happened. Thanks for the comment.
Going to do both of them this week on my 2005 Suburban. No need for a cig lighter so this will be a nice upgrade. Thanks for the video!
Came out great, didn’t take long and much more versatile than a cigarette lighter.
LOL, did same thing here today. The blown fuse is when we cut the wires. I know this from past experiences, but I forgot. Just as I cut the wires, I knew I’d blown the fuse. The cutters short the circuit and the fuse does it’s job and blows. If you’re doing this, cut the wires one at a time guys. Off to the store for 15 amp mini fuse
Finally I’ve been looking for a vid like this
Good video, thanks! I'll be doing this on my 2004 Suburban.
You probably blew the fuse when you cut both wires together at the same time. If your car is like mine, you have power to that outlet even with the power off, so you just shorted them out when you cut them!
That's exactly what happened. Good luck on your project.
Great video very helpful!
great info, thanks
Thanks Man!!
Two Thumbs up! Well done. It took three videos to get to one guy that knows what he’s doing
Did this on mine I just used a wire connect so didn’t have to cut the wire just in case want to put the lighter back in can’t remember what thy are called
Really helpful video, thank you! Has the LED staying on ever caused any battery issue? I assume it draws a small current from the battery but just want to be safe. Thank you
420gtown Glad the video helped and thanks for the comment. I haven't had any trouble with battery drain, but this truck has 2 batteries and it rarely sits longer than 3 days. Cheers
Matthew Galano what kind of truck?
@@prolly2stoned420 2007 Chevy Silverado Duramax 2500. I also installed these usb ports in my 2014 Toyota Sienna and 2011 BMW x5. All still working just fine.
Update.....my truck sat for over 2 months and it started right up.
FireBrew63 just ordered mine bro thanks for the feedback
Which cigarette lighter socket is wired to the ignition?
Neither are, the factory wiring is constant hot.
Thumbs up on the holster too!!!
Thanks I just did mines
Why not just buy another GM power outlet just like the one on the passenger side? The harness looks to be the same.
I wanted usb outlets instead of cigarette lighter outlets.
WHAT ARE THOSE LITTLE BLUE PARTS CALLED?! ITS DRIVING ME INSANE!!
They're called spade connectors, female type. I can't remember if they came with the usb plug though.
FireBrew63 ok good to know thanks
,
Just get USB insert
i did this like 4 years ago a lot better charging power by not using the unreliable 12v socket with the adapter
Just watch a new video
a lot of hassle for something you can just get an insert for..
That's true. I do enjoy the convenience of it though and the blue matches my dash lights.
