No, a 12 GA wire powers the ignition switch. A 14 GA wire powers the "terminal strip". and from that "terminal strip" I've ran a 14 GA wire to the cig lighter. in order for me to change that, id have to power the terminal strip with a 12 GA wire, and continue that 12 GA wire on to the cig lighter. if it is totally inadequate, then I will go through the work to change it. My main concern is, how much power does it take to actually "power" the cig lighter? is a 14 GA too small for that load?
