    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 ...

    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!

    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.

    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,

    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
