Hi guys, I recently bought a Prado Snowy 1999, previous owner had installed a dual battery, and there is a power point inside the back of the car, I want to get a fride to plug in, but I am struggling to identify what kind of plug it is. Can anyone please help me? Cheers

That is a low voltage plug, 12 volts, you can get the male end for it or just replace it with what you want.

That is a32 volt dc 15 amp plug from the 70s and 80s.

Be careful as NSW and Vic standards were reversed.

Most of mine have been replaced with Anderson plugs or powerpoles.

As above low volt dc 12 volt... I have a Trailblaza freezer that runs 240/12 volt system and that’s the kind of plug it uses. They are not the cheapest option.. I think I paid $15 just for one end of the plug can’t recall which but it was 5he more expensive of th3 two.. personally I’d b3 swapping it for a flush mounted Anderson plus... less chance of it coming dislodged in transit

Thanks for the reply. I would also like to ask that do you know which pin is for the LIVE WIRE and which pin is for the NEUTRAL WIRE? I want to wire my USB sockets onto it. Do you think is safe to do so?
Cheers.

In my experience the vertical pin is negative but it could be either. Use a multimeter to find out. Also these have a habit of moving with vibration and causing arcing. I would change it for an Anderson plug or Anderson powerpoles. Genuine variety.

Stick your test light into the hole and the other end onto an earth point eg an unpainted bolt that mounts into the frame of the vehicle. If it lights up you’ve found the positive the other is then negative. Just make sure you have a reliable earth/negative otherwise the positive won’t light up
