2005 Odyssey Accessory Outlets

mrjasjit, "1. Each outlet is on its own fuse?" You have to run separate power wire to the power source. "2. Each outlet has upgraded capacity other than just the current 10amp ? load limit." This mean changing to a bigger wire. The bigger the wire typically means you can carry more load. The more current the bigger the wire has to be. I suggest running a power cable to the battery. Just like running a power cable for your stereo amps. It's not a difficult vehicle to feed an 8 gauge wire through to the firewall to get to the battery. Kettle, heated cooking devices are typically high current draw so it's best to tap the power right at the source. Further note, if you planning to run quite a bit of electrical device on the stock battery consider changing it to a DEEP CYCLE battery and keep the original one for back up. This way, over the long haul you would not damage the original battery should you happen to completely drain it out accidentally. It only takes a few time of a complete drain on the original battery and severe damage will occur to it. Just my 2 cent. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Cool, this gives me something to start with.  If I get anywhere with this I'll post the results!

Problem is that all of the outlets use a shared Fuse.  How do I go about upgrading the accessory wiring so that : 1. Each outlet is on its own fuse? 2. Each outlet has upgraded capacity other than just the current 10amp ? load limit. Thanks a bunch! -jas-

First, are you talking about 12V cig lighter outlets or 120V AC outlets?Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.

Tell Darwin I sent you.
