• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Anyone know anything about them? Enough juice to run an electric tire pump? The User Manual is silent on the subject...

Cheers!

Manual is silent because your power outlet didn't come from the factory. Probably a PO added it on and hopefully it is fused and/or relayed properly. If not you could burn up your wire loom with a high current draw, i.e. pump, heated gear, etc. I would stick to using it for only GPS, cell phone, etc. until I knew exactly how it was wired.

It's right there underneath the blinker switch. Two SAE outlets. Looks integral to the housing for the controls, not aftermarket. I'll snap a photo later. Took me a year to notice it!
 
Look at that, you're right!
Although the wiring diagram doesn't show anything either, so I assume it is a spare hole from another application that the switchblock manufacturer sells to.
Either way, none of the wires up there are up to running anything high-draw like a pump.

You're being fooled by the SAE markings on the housing. Those are not plugs or outlets, shine a light on it and you'll see they're just cutouts in the plastic housing. No electrical contacts underneath, only the underside of the blinker switch is what you see. Cutouts are too big IMO, more than needed and lets in too much dirt/dust. I might partially seal mine up leaving just a couple small pinholes for drainage.
