Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation

Description
The accessory socket is located at the rear of the center console. It supplies battery voltage to any approved Land Rover accessory when the ignition switch is in either the 'auxiliary' or 'ignition' position.

CAUTION: The cigar lighter should NOT be used for accessory power or damage may result.

Operation
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to fusible link 1 and fusible link 4 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0632) on an R wire. Fusible link 4 (C0574) is connected to fuse 10 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0587) by an NW wire.

Fusible link 1 is connected in series with fusible link 2, which is also located in the engine compartment fuse box. Fusible link 2 (C0571) is connected to the ignition switch (C0028) by an NR wire. When the ignition switch is turned to the 'auxiliary' position, current flows across the switch (C0028) to the accessory socket relay (C0588) on a PS wire. The accessory socket relay is located in the passenger compartment fuse box, and is earthed (C0587) on a B wire.

The energised accessory socket relay allows a feed from fuse 10 to flow across the relay switch contacts (C0584) to the accessory socket (C0350) on a PN wire. The accessory socket (C0350) is earthed on a B wire.
