Constant 12v under dash?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

As in,, still powered when ign off.

There is supposedly one in the fuse box?

Is the fuel latch release powered on the dash switch?
anything else easily accessable?

For one of my early posts i had compiled a list - i try to locate it and post a link...

There’s one on the spare connector that’s near the steering column from memory. Think the connector is for tranny interlock solenoid on Nth American delivered vehicles.

I assume the OBII port under the dash would have constant power to it.,

From memory, the fuel latch is unpowered with the key on.

yep,, little red led from my bluetooth Torque adaptor tells me this is true! [wink11]

and is in exactly the right spot,, these switches just pop out?

The memory wire to the radio is active all the time.

AFAIR yellow near the radio.

From my post on 4 March 2012...


Fuses 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,12,13,20 are ‘ALWAYS’ powered ‘ON’

Fuses 15,16,18,19, 26,32 are ‘accessory on’ power sources

Fuses 24,25,27,28,30 are ‘ignition on’ power sources

I use ‘add-a-fuse’ or ‘add-a-circuit’ to tap power from the fuse box ...

What are you trying to power up?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

The battery!![bigrolf]

I have a solar panel and reg that will sit on the dash,, the D2 only just does enough kays nowadays to keep the battery charged.

These look the go!
Thanks onebob[wink11]

For your stated purpose I WOULD NOT use a fuse tap. Best practice would be to install an auxillary power socket under the dash connected direct to the the battery. I have done this.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Yep,, and my first thought also was to run cable to the battery,, and I would, if I was dealing with more than 1.something amps,,

even the smallest of the fusebox cables is capable of carrying many times the panel output,

[AK83]

clock/central locking unit, should have a constant feed.
also, be careful how much power you require too.
I can't remember how easy it is to pull the clock/central locking unit out, but I don't remember it being difficult either.
According to RAVE the purple wire is the power feed, running off fuse 20 on the cabin fuse box

I agree, Not only will this be the most efficient way to hook up the small panel it will also give you an additional power outlet [thumbsupbig]

If my answer is not late.... for solar charger splice in with a scotchlok into the brown wire (pin 1) of C0028, this circuit goes directly to battery through FL8 of the engine bay fusebox

No not a scotchlok :bat:bloody horrid things ,cut/splice/solder insulate [thumbsupbig]
Thought you would have known better mate[wink11]

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Yes Chris, agree totally about scotchloks, :censored:,
but I might combine the location ( Thanks SF. ) with a previous method. [bigwhistle][smilebigeye]

[sierrafery]

IMO scotchlocks are OK for low current applications, i've used them with success many times... off course that for higher than 5A circuits are sh*t
