Adapter Needed For 12 Volt Accessory Circuit on Vehicle with 5-Way
Question:
Do they sell an adapter to go from flat 5 wire to 12 volt DC?
asked by: William S
Expert Reply:
A 5-way flat does not normally carry a 12 volt accessory circuit so an adapter for what you are looking for isn't directly available. What you can do is use the part # 37185 though which your 5-way will plug directly into and then will allow you to run the black wire to the positive post of your battery with a 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot), through a breaker like part # 9510.
You could then plug in the part # PK11896 and you'd have a 12 volt power source available at the 7-way.
