Title: need adapter
Post by: lavocat on October 25, 2016, 02:14:47 pm
My TPMS plugs into cigarette lighter/12v socket.  Just below where the TPMS is mounted is a regular ac outlet.  DOes someone make a socket that has standard pug on the back that I could use for this?

I'm not saying that I've used this or that it works but it looks like what you're asking for.  I wouldn't run anything very big but it should be ok for the small load of a TPMS I would think.

Poor translation of what was probably originally written in Chinese.  Basically, "you can use this as a 12v accessory plug in your home and it's easy to use".

I have a couple of these and have used them for about 4 years.  Had one fail.  They are not robustly made but at that price, they are fine.  You may find them even cheaper on eBay.

You can just find a 120v to 12v DC power supply.  I have a drawer full of them. Be sure to determine the input voltage for your TPMS. It may not be 12v.  Finding one with the correct power plug may be the hard part.
