I was going to town on my fuses (engine bay) trying to find a switched fuse. It seems they're all constant except for the ones for the lights. Has anyone found a fuse that is only getting voltage when the car is on?

 

I hardwired my PASSPORT 9500ix radar detector using a "add-a-circuit" to the (interior) fuse panel. I tapped into the forward most 12V cig outlet circuit.
It's only "on" when the ignition is on. Clean install with no splicing.
Problem was no local availability so I had to ordered it off E-bay.

 

I've never seen one of those before. That is a nice option as opposed to the little connector that slides onto one of the fuse prongs since those tend to get jammed.

 

Yeah, no splicing and no solder sh*t. Seems to be a good product and working perfect so far!

 

For the record, I have added a circuit to the fuse box inside the car, that hot wire runs to a switch, then the other wire for the switch goes to the fog lights and taps into the positive connector for the fogs.


So I notice this last night...

Not cool at all. So I took my add a circuit connector and moved it to the front cigarette light. But now, if my headlights are on (light delay mode when I'm walking from the car) and both the stock fog light switch is on along with the aftermarket fog light switch, then it powers the radio on as well. Not in acc or on with the push button. If I turn off any of those three switches, be it my aftermarket switch, or the stock fog light, or the headlights the radio powers off. Lol. Weird.
