Expert Answers about Buick 12V Power Accessories


  • Universal 12-Volt Auxiliary Power Options For Installation on a 2021 Honda CR-V
  • We do have a couple options for adding an accessory power outlet on your 2021 Honda CR-V EX. Both options are universal, aftermarket options and are not custom fit for your CR-V. First is the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 which contains the wiring and socket to connect directly to the battery on your CR-V. The Multi Device Charging Station # 37215095 has a 12 volt connection and 2-USB connections. This will require a Fuse Tap Kit # F2526 to connect to one of the fuse boxes in your CR-V...

  • Can Lights, Jack, and Winch be Powered by 12V Circuit Coming From Tow Vehicle
  • The function of the Battery Isolation Solenoid, # PK5231201, is to shut off the 12-volt feed from your vehicle battery to 12-volt accessories on your trailer when the ignition is turned off. This lets you run the trailer's electrical components without draining your vehicle's battery, assuming that you have a trailer mounted battery. The isolation solenoid is designed to be mounted on the tow vehicle because it requires an ignition switched power source in order to function. By using this...

  • Is The 12 Volt Supply Line Required When Installing The Wiring Kit For a Trailer Brake Controller?
  • The Wiring Kit # 5506 includes running a 12 volt power supply as this is needed to charge the battery on the Breakaway Kit # 3802346. Trailers with electric trailer brakes are required to have a functioning breakaway kit to stop the trailer shall it become disconnected from the tow vehicle. The 12-volt wire can also be used to power auxiliary lights or other 12 volt accessories in the trailer.

  • Can I Use A 120V To 12V DC Converter To Power My AC Thermostat
  • If you want to use the converter, I recommend using a 20 amp fuse and running 10 gauge wire up to the unit. This way if you want to add an extra 12v accessory in the future you can just tie into that wire instead of having to run a separate one. If you are replacing your current vent with the Replacement Vent w/ Thermostat and Remote for Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner - Non-Ducted # AT15021, it will not allow you to control anything on your AC unit unless the unit has the actual...

  • Can The Bulldog Winch Twist Lock Socket BDW20286 Be Used For Any 12 Volt Accessory
  • The Bulldog Winch Power Socket # BDW20286 is designed to be used with any 12 volt accessory and is not designed for a specific Bulldog Winch product. This is a universal 12 volt power supply plug that will work with any 12 volt cigarette style plug, like the Prostrobe Rocky 8 Pro - White Windshield Light # PRS70747 as a random, though cool, example. The watertight cap and 3 mounting brackets (flush mount, under dash, and dash top tent bracket) make this a great way to add a 12 volt power...

  • Recommended Exterior Light For An Enclosed Trailer That Runs Off Of 110V
  • The only exterior light we currently carry compatible with 120v would be the Exterior LED Utility Light # M337FR. This light is a flush mount and would require you to cut a hole in the side of your enclosed trailer and would sit inside the walls/in the trailer itself depending on how thick your trailer's walls are. I've attached a video below where I installed the 12v DC version of this light which has the same installation, just connecting to a different power source. If you wanted...

  • Solar Power Compatibility of MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe Vent
  • The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat - Manual Lift - 10 Speed - White # MA00-05100K requires a minimum 5 amp 12 volt DC service. My contact at MaxxAir could not give me the wattage or amperage draw at max power, but at minimum the amperage draw is 5 amps. To utilize solar power to charge your battery and allow 12V accessory functions, I recommend the Redarc BCDC Dual Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D designed to allow solar power input charging.

  • Can A Winch Battery And Trailer Breakaway Battery Both Be Charged Through 7-Way 12v Hot Lead
  • You would be able to charge both the trailer battery as well as the breakaway battery through your 7-way connection to the tow vehicle. This is very standard practice with most people just running a line from each battery to the 12v accessory terminal in the junction box # 3375601101. A 7-way on a vehicle is typically rated for 40amps DC so you won't be getting much going to the batteries once everything is divided up to power any other accessories tied into the circuit so this would be...

  • Battery Connection for 6V Vehicle and 12V Accessories
  • If I am understanding correctly you want to run two 6 volt batteries in series to get your 12V output. This will work well and allow you to also run a 12V battery with those two 6V batteries, when you then connect the output power 12V of the two 6V batteries in parallel with your 12V battery. The issue you will have is separating the 6V you need for your kit car. A 12V battery can start a 6V starter with precautions, but the issue would be the constant 12V power going to your light...

  • Can the Fan-Tastic Vent Endless Breeze Portable Box Fan # FV01100WH Plug Into a 110V Outlet
  • Since the Fan-Tastic Vent Endless Breeze Portable Box Fan # FV01100WH plugs into a 12V DC power outlet you can simply plug it into your cigarette or 12V accessory socket during travel. It has 6 feet of cord so you should have no trouble finding a way to orient it. When you stop to rest you can simply use the Power Converter # FV1101-09 which plugs into a 110V wall outlet like what you would normally see in a house. I have attached a review video for you to check out as well.

  • Can Pollak 7-Pole RV-Style Trailer Socket # PK12-707E Power 500-Watt Inverter
  • My contact at Pollak advised that their 7-Pole RV-Style Trailer Socket # PK12-707E has a maximum DC current rating of 35-amps at 12 volts. Therefore it should have enough capacity to power your 500-watt inverter. You can check your vehicle owner's manual or with your dealership to determine if the vehicle wiring has the capacity you require.

It is not intended to replace any specific OEM trailer light but it will work well for you as long as the RV has a female 12V barrel plug power connector to match the male plug shown in the linked photo. You can see more details on this item in the linked video.

  • Diode to Prevent Running Light from Feeding Back to 12 Volt Converter
  • Having multiple 12 volt power sources on the same circuit or going back to a 12 volt converter won't cause any issues unlike AC power. That said we do have diodes like the part # RM-790 which only allow current to flow in one direction that you could use if you wanted to prevent the 12 volts from the running light circuit to the converter.

  • Why Do You Need To Disconnect The Battery In A 2021 Chevy Tahoe In Order To Flat Tow
  • The manufacturer requires you to place the ignition in accessory mode and disconnect the battery to prevent the steering wheel from locking and dragging your wheels every time you turn and from turning on specific systems in the vehicle that could end up being damaged. As vehicle technology advances there's a lot more that has to be disabled in order to flat tow a vehicle. To make disconnecting and reconnecting the battery easy you can install the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766....

  • Where To Wire Purple Wire From Hopkins Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole
  • I believe you are referring to the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185 which has the manufacturer part number of 47185B. The purple auxiliary wire can be used for 12V power, reverse lights or reverse lockout for trailer brakes. The purple wire is normally connected to the reverse light signal of the Ford F-150 vehicle if your trailer has reverse lights or hydraulic brakes with an actuator that has an electric reverse lockout. You would need to use a circuit tester like part...
