- Other than if the switch interrupts the chassi ground, my new radio will lose its presets (I think), why is it important which line holds the switch? The battery will not discharge if the circuit is

- Umm, wouldn't your radio lose its presets either way; i.e. no matter which side of the circuit was interrupted? And if not, then I would think the battery cut-off was not being effective, in that de

- Two things: Not disputing the point, but I was always told to put the switch on the ground side. What is the reason for sayng it should be on the non-ground? A good way to keep the radio presets from

- FYI, NAPA sells a setup that does that very thing. It's a 9v battery connector wired to a cigarette lighter plug. You might recall that the cigarette lighter circuit is active at all times, as is the

- So, when did they start putting cigar lighters into MGs? My guess is 1968... am I right? I know a '66 has no such thing. Bud Krueger had this to say: -- == Max Heim mvheim@studiolimage.com Studio L'I

- Gee, Max, I'll bet it was before they started installing radios with digital tuning that need a constant source of power. My 77B has one. Looking at Moss' catalog I see that a lighter (142-270) is li

- My old 67 MGB/GT (parts car) had 2 cigar lighters (!) and a stock chrome-lid ashtray (but perhaps from a later year....?) One of the cigar lighters was on the dash, and the other was in the center co

- I presume your cut-off switch is accessible from outside the car, otherwise your "low enough value fuse" will blow as soon as you open the door to get out ... My radio, which is a cheapo fully-withdr
