Bottle heater question FOR THOSE THAT HAVE ONE

Where did you guys wire it to? Is there a power source in the trunk I can use, or do I need to run it all the way forward? Thanks in advance.

Mine is wired through my trunk. I still have my distribution block back there for power. I also mounted my relay on teh back of the seat. You wll need to run at least 2 wires to the back. One for the switch and one for i think ignition. My power & ground are done in the back. Other then that, its rather simple.

for the main power source, i used my amp. at least one wire has to go all the way forward to your switch.

Main power is coming from my system's power cable. No matter what, you still need to run wires from the switch.

At least no one wired it to their third brake light.

Well I don't have an amp So I guess I'm running the power forward. I'm just running out of places to hook it up, I guess the battery will have to do, I don't want to put anything else on my cigarette lighter...

i ended up putting all my nitrous accessories on a separate relay and ran just one wire to the battery from that relay. the back of my cig lighter was becoming a jungle.
