Default Is this ok?? HELP NEEDED!!!

Is it ok to tap into the cigarette power line twice. One for my fan switch and another for my line lock. Is this ok. Or i guess i can get into other power outlet. But it is easier to get into the cig. lighter. any help would be cool.

You will be fine. Remember, both of those are very low current switches. (Example: the real business end of your line lock happens at the relay)

I've got one power tap that I use for my 4 switches (Nitrous, Line Lock, Blanket, Opener)

BTW:
Post a more detailed subject and you should get more (quicker) responses!

I will not be using a relay on my transbrake, for instance, because I don't want any chance of an outside source affecting the amount of time it takes to release the brake (critical to cutting good lights)...
