I need to find connections for a. a constant-on source of power b. an ignition-switched source of power c. a dash-light source of power These are 5A switched power sources: F6, F7, F9, F10, F11, F13, F29, F35, F36, F39, F40. These are some constant-on sources: F23(20A), F28(15A), F32(15A) Dash light power: Look for a grey wire with red stripe going to the back of any of the components in the center stack (toggle switches, radio, or ventilation controls). |
The red (accessory power) wire is fused at 5A, I think. I will double check and post again later.
Thanks for the power sources on the fusebox - how should I tap into them with a single wire? Should I use an add-a-circuit type deal, or can I find a wire and tap into it? The kit I have comes with wire clips that sever the old and new wires' plastic sheath to tap into power (jargon name for this device??). I would love to find wires that are already fused high enough for the extra capacity and just tie into them that way, short of using an add-a-circuit, which I really don't understand how to use. |
Use add-a-circuit. They have a wire coming out of them and you can just tap into that wire using the clip in your kit.

OK - any specific circuits I should hop onto? Like I said, I believe the accessory-on is 5A, and the constant on is probably less than 1A considering it's unfused.

Choose any that is unlikely to interfere with what you're using it for. Look at the lists here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...nd-wiring.html

All sorted! I used F6 I think for the switched power, and whatever the always-on radio circuit is for the constant power.
Add-a-circuits are awesome! The system fired up after finding a decent ground and re-connecting the battery. The first time though, I almost $*at myself because I tried to turn the car over and everything went dark... Gotta screw that negative terminal back on before you draw so much power :razz: |
tl;dr
but, The left column radio fuse is switched, used it for my PAC wheel adaptor. |
