That's what I want it for, too. Well, if it has worked for you then it'll work form me, I suppose.

Thanks,

Hi Mundy,

Fuses 24,25,27,28,30,31 are ignition power sources...

i use these to grab power when i need it. My Engine Saver is powered off Fuse 27.

ooops - they're called "Add-a - Fuse" and you get them here Swe-Check - The Fuse Warehouse

I got more info to share on the fuses......

Fuses 24,25,27,28,30,31 are 'ignition on' power sources...

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

Fuses 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,12,13,20 are 'ALWAYS powered on"

I run my CB off fuse 5 (unused on mine but reserved for Daylight Running Lights on the posh models)

Disclaimer: This info is from my own scribbled notes, taken down on a hot uncomfortable January evening, multimeter in hand, resting on sore 58yr old knees, elbows in the foot well, a crick in the neck, however I reckon they're 100% accurate for my D2 though - can't vouch for other D2s so check before using eh! - all care taken but no responsibility accepted.

That's fantastic, Onebob. I definitely need to get a couple.

Does anyone know what this location is for? Can I use it as a power supply? What's the current limit?

Thanks

Socket (S13) on the front of the under-dash fusebox (green-arrowed) -




This socket is fed from the Ignition Switch on a 3.0mm2 cable, through C0028-4, via F30 (20 Amp).

F30 also protects the feeds to the Mirror Switch, via C590-3 and the Cruise Control Switch, via C590-8.

I can supply the correct Sumitomo connector that fits into this socket, with a terminal to suit upto 3.0mm2 cable -

.




I'm expecting a delivery, any day now, of some of the 5-Way Connectors to fit the 5-Pin socket (S12) below S13 -





I'll be selling the Brown connectors on eBay (UK), for £4.25 + P&P

If anyone wants one before then, drop me a PM.
