ACC + (Red) 12v constant at cigarette lighter under center console for DVD player. DVD player is now controled by switch. Monitors have to be turned off after each use or when ignition switch is turned off.


The car was not driven for two days resulting in a dead battery. Where did I go wrong.

You should have the 12v ACC power on to something that is switched with the key, such as the cigarette lighter under the radio. I'm a little bit confused, your say that you have both powers set up to the always on lighter in the center console?

I was speaking of the 12v cigarette lighter under the center console/arm rest.

Try the cig. light in the center console below the AC controls. That one should be a switched 12 volts. This should be good for the red wire and the wire for your screens as well.

The one in the arm rest console is 12 constant. This will be fine for the yellow wire.

^^^ Exactly what Mighty Noid said. You're having the switched power line connected to a constant power is causing your battery to be drained.

OK guys,

I went with above connections this morning. Why do the monitors blink for about a half a second when the Ignition is turn to ACC or On???? The monitors and DVD player turn off when the ignition is turned to OFF. I am so close to having this correct.

YOU DO HAVE THIS CORRECT. If the DVD player and monitors don't turn off when the ignition is turned to OFF it will drain your battery. The monitors blink becuase they are turning on. Nothing to worry about.
