This^^. My suggestion is a band aid. Not something you should do as a permanent Fox period. a

Rubber splicing tape, duct tape for protection, and Ty-raps for insurance.

Fused and connected to a acc terminal on the fuse panel in drivers foot well. Now I can charge phones from the back seat and run my 12 volt ice chest without robbing me of a cigaret lighter upfront to charge phones. Now I just need to install one for the back seat in the bottom of the center console.

Thanks, I choose your comment to reply to. It's fixed. Patched in some old hose from a coolant overflow bottle. Had to get gas on it just to slide it on, then tightened both sides with hose clamps. Going to fill her up and check the wallet damage now.
