cigarette lighter cb adapter

Personally I haven’t had much luck with running the power wire to the fuse box, you still run the risk of getting electrical noises just like using the cigarette lighter. I didn’t realize this till now, but Walmart sells a cigarette adapter with the wire and a three pin connector for your radio. I wouldn’t use the 15 amp fuse it comes with. All you need is a three amp fuse for a 4 watt radio. The radio already comes with a 2 amp fuse. As far as a radio for occasional trips, you can’t go wrong with the Cobra 25LTD or a Uniden PC68xl.

 

Find a truckstop that carries this brand.


Then look for the heavy duty lighter plug.

Mine has 12 gauge wire.

 

Run it direct to battery with correct wire ga for the length req and applicable fuseable link..
