Secret 12V Power?

I randomly opened my...armrest and pulled the storage box out...to reveal a secret 12V power outlet that actually works! My front one blew out...this is AMAZING!

Did anyone know about this yet? 2 yrs with Max and never noticed..

I guess you didn't get or read the owners manual for your car because then you would know there are 3 12V outlets

I Know Im Probably In The Wrong Thread, But Can Some One Tell Me What To Do. I Have A 2004 Maxima And I Installed Led Bulbs For My Turn Signal, And The Bulbs Blink Really Fast. Is There Anything I Can Do To Slow Them Back Down To Normal Speed?

As a side-not please don't capitalize the first letter of each word, it makes my eyes hurt! And I know that there have been a few people with these issues with LED's so wait for them to chime in.

Ok ok ok I got owned........lol

Really never thought to look there though. Guess its pretty useful. If you take that "box" which holds your stuff out (above outlet)...you get a really good amount of room too, that is definitely going to be dedicated to my cell..the box will be out, and it will stay there and charge. Radar will go in the one on the side of the center console.

You know you "probably" are in the wrong thread? Did you even read the title, "Secret 12V Power"?
First off where did you buy your LED's? A good seller would let you know about installig load resistors when you replace a signal bulb with LED's.

Secondly: READ THE STICKES (as any moderator will probably tell you)

Wow twice in one thread! I rarely get to use ths one!!!


Sorry for bustin' your ***** but sometimes these things have to be done!!

Did anyone notice that the Max actually has 5 tires? If you look in the trunk there is another little one under the trunk carpeting. Wow!!! Cool!!!

I actually knew I had the armrest plug before I knew I had the one on the front passenger side of the dash... then again, I also haven't had my car two years...

and, damn.. can't the newbies post in the threads titled "I'm a newbie and I have a question!" .... I mean... come on... those threads are made JUST for that... or at least anywhere NEAR the right topic....

LOL,

Maybe there is a small turbo somewhere and we all just didn't read the manual properly.

I have the undocumented hover/anti-grav feature in mine. Cuts down time in traffic jams. Glad I found the secret compartment the switch was hidden in. Paypal $10 to my address for instructions on how to engage yours.
