Thanks for the reply... The vans are 1990 Carat, 1990 tintop syncro, 1989 GL tintop. I have dash cams using the cigarette lighter plug (low draw amp)... there are times that I plug it in and forget to unplug it... then it continues to run for a long time... so I want the dash cam OFF when I turn OFF the engine. thanks On Tue, Nov 16, 2021 at 2:32 PM Neil <musomuso@gmail.com> wrote: > On 11/16/21, Neil <musomuso@gmail.com> wrote: > > > - will potential added Amps via load(s) on cig lighter socket be too > > much for the X circuit ? > > i.e. with all X circuit loads on, will the added load(s) connected to > the cig lighter socket make total potential Amp draw too high for the > X circuit ? > > Neil. > > On 11/16/21, Neil <musomuso@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Dan. > > > > The model year, type, of Vanagon may be a factor.
