I got tired of having accessory cords hanging in plain sight. I added a 12V accessory port inside the center console as shown. I now tuck my phone, iPod, palm, etc. out of sight when charging off the battery.

Step 1
Remove radio bezel (1) and console cover(2). I drilled a 1 1/8" hole and installed a female accessory socket I purchased from a local electronic supply company (3). The location of the plug is limited by the cup holders in the console cover - double check before drilling!


Step 2
Drill a hole as shown to pass the wires into the dash cavity.



Step 3
Drill another small hole to tie cables as shown in (1). I tied the in-line fuse and wiring to an exsiting harness (2). It's a reflection (3).

 

Step 4
Splice wires into existing cigar lighter behind radio bezel. I chose to splice into the existing ground wire versus finding another ground point.



Step 5
Done!

 

That's excellent. I had just dreamed up the same mod and was searching for a part number for the Ford power port when I found that you have already accomplished this. Thanks for the help...and great job.

 

Nice clean work! Coming to my truck soon!
