Hey guys, long time no post - but I'm hoping you can help me out! 

On Friday I am embarking on a trip around Europe in the LS430 (2004) for a family holiday. 

I was hoping to wire a 12V socket in the boot - but I cannot identify a suitable switched live to tap in to - can anyone help? 

Thanks in advance.

The only live switch that carries a decent loading is the ariel and that is relayed, the rest are for the lights which you don't want to mess with.

One of the reasons the LS range as a good record as far as failed bulbs is the perfect wiring system it as.

You would be better advised to run a line from the engine bay fuse box in the brake pipe conduit beneath the chassis and enter the boot floor through one of the rubber grommets.

That way you will be able to use a spare or inline fuse and install a switch in the boot on the plug in.

Why don’t you look at using the rear cigar lighter socket and weave a cable through the rear seats. Not technical or practical so only a thought. Good luck, Roger

That's where I've been trying to get the live feed from but I cannot get access easily due to the electric rear seats. If anyone knows any easy access through to the cabin, I'm all ears!
