Ignition live location
« on: January 28, 2013, 09:31:49 pm »
Anyone know if there's an ignition live in the engine bay fuse box? If not is there one in the dash fuse box and what's the best way to route a cable to there?

Thanks

Please share your findings as it is a good reference for someone using the search function in the future. I had this issue a while back and ended up splicing in to another wire...this would have been a better solution ;)

Very useful! You could run DRL's from there then?
