Accessory Power Socket
The accessory power socket is located directly behind the parking brake
lever. The socket is intended for 12-volt DC accessories rated for 120
watts (10 amps) or less. Exceeding the limit can blow the accessory
socket fuse (see page 176).
The socket can be used to power such items as a trouble light, spotlight,
CB radio, or cell phone, but not a heat-generating accessory, such as a
car cigarette lighter.

and keep water or other fluids away from the socket.
