wagnin07 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 has anyone instaleld the 12v accessory power outlet/cig lighter in the cargo area of the 06-07 wagon? im riding a 2007 impreza wagon 2.5i, the base model, no heated seats, nothin, the most basic model there is. I'm going camping soon and Ill need another power outlet in the trunk.what I know/have done:I figured out the wiring was already there under the right side of the trunk, under the trim. directly opposite of where the jack would be. I looked up higher model imprezas like the 2007 impreza outback sport, and it has an extra power outlet with a lamp in the trunk. Ive also seen some really old posts on nasioc about how to do this, so i figured out was that in order to properly power the cargo outlet, you need relays and fuses in the interior fuse box under the driver's side dashboard. What I realized, is that the posts I saw were not base model wagons, and that my model will not even take in the fuse I need for the cargo outlet because the base models literally have no "extra features". I do want to avoid this, but it seems that I need to buy a whole relay block with the correct fuse holder off a higher model impreza in order for this to work...anyone have any ideas,suggestions? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 does your model have the trailer light harness? maybe there's a way to use that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Lucky Texan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I've never used one but, there some 'piggy-back' connectors you can jam into the fuse block - use an in-line fuse with it and you may be able to power that wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
