I've been reading on this forum that Sprinters (maybe only the T1Ns?) are fussy about adding electrical accessories to the electrical system. The two that come to mind are trailer hitch wiring and horn changes.
I have several accessories that plug into the cigarette lighter/accessory jacks and they don't seem to make a difference. I'm considering "hard wiring" them to eliminate the bulky 12volt plugs. I've also installed a backup camera transmitter to my backup light circuit without any noticable problems being caused.
Can someone explain to me, in laymans terms, what the concerns are with the Sprinter electrical system. If I don't overload a circuit and fuse each addition why would I have any problems?
Another thought. If I install a receiver type tow hitch does the spare tire have to be relocated and what is the most recommended place to relocate it to?
Thanks!
