#181276 - 02/05/01 12:20 PM Electrical Question
Bill H Member Registered: 13/04/01 Posts: 193 Loc: Northern NJ USA	I have a 2001 X SE V6 4x4. It comes with 3 cigar plug outlets. 2 up front & 1 in the rear. Does anyone know what the maximum amperage is out of EACH plug? Also, does anyone know if they go to separate or the same fuse? Thanks gang! ------------------ 2001 Xterra 4x4 SE Yellow _________________________ 2001 Xterra 4x4 SE Yellow

As to the amperage/wattage, check the owners manual. If I recall correctly, it is spelled out fairly clearly in there, but I do not remember the figures or I would tell you. ------------------ _________________________ Back in Network Administration!

It leads you to believe that all 3 go into 1 10 AMP fuse. NOT! After talking to several techs at different dealerships and doing schematics of the fusebox, it appears that the front 2 outlets go into one fuse and the other into another fuse. Now, the owners manual rated the fuses at 10 AMPS but the fuses are 15 & 20 AMPS. I thought at first maybe someone put the wrong size fuses in but the fusebox covers do read 15 & 20 AMPS. Now I'm even more confused. I'm going to buy an assortment pack of replacement fuses and plug stuff in and see what happens. More later. ------------------ 2001 Xterra 4x4 SE Yellow _________________________ 2001 Xterra 4x4 SE Yellow

The cig lighter goes to a fuse by itself (it's in the X's dash fusebox). The front accessory and rear accessory outlet go to ONE fuse located in the fuse box under the hood. I'm not sure what they are rated at though... :: kp :: ------------------ 2000 Trophy Bronze SE \| \|\| karmapitbull online v3.o \| \|\| _________________________ The OFFICIAL Hell To Pay site: \|\|\| HELL TO PAY \|\|\|

Sounds good to me! Does anyone actually smoke in their X?? I haven't even considered farting in mine yet! ------------------ 01 Solar Yellow SE 4X4 "Ready To Run" [This message has been edited by NoMoJeep (edited 05-21-2001).] _________________________ 01 Solar Yellow SE 4X4 "Ready To Run"
