Hi, I have just received my L5740, and love it to bits. The one thing I want to change is the cigar lighter is fused to the engine run bus. I want it on the accessory bus. IE First key position. Looks as though the fuse block/loom is all crimped without pull off terminals. Thus can't swap fuse location (none spare anyway). What I have done in the past is crimp a wire to a flat blade, and install an external fuse link with another blade to an apropiate fuse slot in. No spare slots here, so a double external fuse would be needed. Getting messy.... So has anyone got round this neatly?

You have an "accessory" position in your key switch? That is cool. How many accessories does the Grand L line have?

About the only creature comfort my M has is a cup holder.

That's neat Will. Where do you get them from? Not seen anything like it in the UK, or France where I live.

RJK The L5740 is the UK version. "Grand" is nomenclature in US Canada only I think. I have the cab version with radio, AC climate ctl, Anti-stall, auto throttle, all of which works well. I added a drink cooler (hence need an accessory outlet), but it does not have a cup holder!

Avoid these like the plague, they spread the prongs apart too much.
