R50/53 Fuse box diagram (interior fuse box - to tap into)
#1
I am looking for a fuse to tap off of for my Valentine 1 Radar Detector and am trying to find the best fuse to tap off of (going to use an add-a-circuit device). Does anyone have any suggestions?
I don't have the heated windshield or PDC. The pictures on the back of the fuse box cover are not the easiest to understand, and some simply lead you to a manual (doesn't have any info on the specific fuses).
Can I simply tap into one of the empty ones? I would also prefer that is switched with the ignition power.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
DJ

That is exactly what I am going to do when I get a chance. Check the owner's manual for what fuse is off when the ignition is off.
I usually wedge the wire or a spade coonector into an existing spot, and push the fuse back in. If you put it in the protected side, you will have double fuse protection.
Have not looked for a good ground connection under the dash yet.
Also, see a previous post where the power was taken from the clock area (supposed to be a "switched" hot line up there too (sunroof).
Good luck and let me know how you make out.
