Volvo's and 24v Kettles!

Anyone know where the connections are in the fusebox of a 2013 Fh, (not brand new type, its the Mr3) for the coffee maker ?
Been in to the volvo garage yesterday for a service, I have burned out the 24v socket with my kettle and asked for a new one to be fitted. The foreman was very angry with me for using it for a kettle !!!.
I asked one of the electricians what was the best options and he told me, off the record, that there is a fused set of wires in the fusebox whit a connection for a volvo coffee maker that I could hook into but although I can see the fuse I can find where the wires go to.
I intended to put in a dedicated 3 pin socket fot the kettle and leave it plugged in all the time, I think the pulling in and out each time didnt help my 24v socket.

The electrician would have showed me where I should hook up to but the foreman gave him a telling off for saying anything to me (Knob !)

Anyone done this ?

■■■ lighter socket,

On Maritime the coffee maker was always in the top passenger side cupboard (front cupboard not rear one), so maybe the wires run into there?

■■■ lighter socket,

You could also light your ■■■ when It goes on fire, None of the sockets on the FH are designed to work anything above 10w and about 150amps. Thats why I was asking about the coffee maker wiring.

From memory wires go into passenger side and up into a locker

I had a 58 reg fh took plug off the back of 24v cig lighter and put some spade connectors on some 30 amp cable and fitted 3pin house socket to it & 3pin plug to kettle,no more burnt out sockets also done the same with Electrolux fridge!!

A decent* Hella plug/socket combo will handle more current than a ■■■ lighter arrangement (18A @24V, ~432W?)

(*a light duty Hella plug will only do 8A / 192W, a ■■■ lighter 10A @ 12V or 5A @ 24V = 120W)

In fact, I’ve just found this old thread where the legendary Coffeeholic talks of the coffee machine wiring! viewtopic.php?p=185002

Edit to Add: Some FH12 manual with some wiring bits PDF: www.gurtam.com/files/ftp/TRUCK/Volvo/FH12.pdf

The coffee maker wires are behind the left hand panel, in front of the passenger seat. They are to the right in line with the sockets. To use a kettle on the standard socket, change the fuse for a 15a. Never, ever start the motor while it’s plugged in though. That is how you’ve blown the sockets
