Default 12v constant power in interior fuse panel?

Hello Good People,

Is there a 12v constant power wire I can tap into from within the interior fuse panel? I was hoping to find something without having to connect a jumper wire directly from the battery.

T.I.A.

Not that I'm aware of. Snaking a couple wires from the battery through the firewall grommet is super easy though.

Yes, there are a couple of ways. 1. Get a piggy-back fuse and check each fuse to see which one is constant.



2. There are two unused slots on the lower right hand side of the box, and there is a vendor that sells the plugs. One plug is a single wire and 20 amps, the other has 4 slots, some are constant, some are switched.
I think his name is Paul at lrconnectors. I went this route to power additional charging port for phone.
I will post some pics for you when I get off work this evening.

lrconnector from UKHere are pics of Paul's connectors. He also gives you the breakdown of what wires are what.

This is for S12:

The circuits are as follows -

Terminal-5 - Live - ignition switched (position 1 on ignition switch), via fuse F27 (10 Amps)

Terminal-4 - Live - permanent, via fuse F20 (15 Amps)

Terminal-3 - Live - switched, from auxiliary circuits relay, via fuse F15 (20 Amps)

Terminal-2 - Live - from main lighting switch (sidelights position), via fuse F33 (10 Amps)

Terminal-1 - Earth - via C0583 to C0017-1 (Earth Header) on 3.0mm² cable
