I have just mounted an after market trailer hitch on my 2006 307 HDI (90hp) stationcar.
Theres a cable for a little controlbox that needs 12V. From where do I pull this?
Pulling a cable straight from the battery seems impossible, but shouldn't there be power to be pulled from somewhere inside the car? Afterall, what if you wanted to mount a cd-changer, amplifier or something like that back in the rear?
Any ideas appreciated. J. Jespersen Denmark
My old 206 has a factory fitted CD changer connector already in the boot. I'd be suprised if a year old car didn't. Have another look.
I had this problem last week on a 207. You have to be very careful where you take a live feed from on a fully multiplex car like the 307,
207 and later 206. I had to run a wire up the inside of the car under the sill trims to the ignition lock and solder into the main live wire to it. Also needed an accessory feed which I took off the cigarette lighter. On the 307 I could've used the 12v accessory unit in the boot if fitted. Otherwise the one in the centre console.
There is what looks like a 12v accessory in the rear left, but theres no power in it. I have confirmed that in the fuse panel, the "12v front/rear" is fitted.
Any ideas as how to get power through here?

It might only be powered with the ignition on.
Tried that. No power. :-(

I would speak to your PUG dealer. I agree with what Nigel said. You do need to be very careful where you take power from, especially if it will be of high current. Dan.
