PT Cruiser L4-2.4L (2008)
FRONT CONSOLE AND REAR CARGO MOUNTED
A front console mounted power outlet is standard equipment and a rear cargo area power outlet is optional equipment on this model. The front console
mounted power outlet is mounted near the front of the console just in front of the cup holders. This outlet can be used as a cigar lighter or power outlet,
but only has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON or ACC positions. The rear power outlet is installed in the right rear quarter trim
panel, near the spare tire jack (2). The power outlet base and mount are secured by a snap fit within the quarter trim panel. A plastic protective cap snaps
into the power outlet base when the power outlet is not being used, and hangs from the power outlet base mount by an integral bail strap while the power
outlet is in use. While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar lighter base unit, it does not include the two small spring-clip retainers inside the bottom
of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar lighter heating element to the insulated contact. It has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is
in the ON or ACC positions.
