Go to your auto parts store and get a fuse tap. Then, with the help of a volt meter, find 12 volts at the fuse box by your left foot. Pull the fuse and install the tap. Now you have 12 volts constant.

I did the same for my gauges, but used 12 volts switched instead. I used the seat heat fuse, an option which I don't have anyway.

Good Luck,

Littlefuse makes those taps. Autozone has them in both the regular and
mini fuse sizes. :smile:
