Fuse Taps - Always Hot / ACC Hot

disdigg · 05-04-2006, 06:14 PM

Hello.

Has anyone figured out which fuses are always hot or hot when key is turned to acc (on)? I'd like to hardwire a few different accessories (bluetooth handsfree, gps, ipod). It seems easiest to tap from the fuse box and the bluetooth handsfree needs both positive connections (always hot and acc).

Thanks!

Dave

Oh, and don't forget, you can buy fusetaps at any auto shop so that you can quickly remove your wires if you have to take the car in for service and don't want the @#*@ers to blame your wiring for any problems your having...

I used:

Fuse 25 - Door Lock - For my constant power
Fuse 35 - Acc, Radio - on with key turned

PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR FUSES FOR YOUR POWER CONNECTIONS!!!!

Get the right tools and make your electrical connections correctly with wire strippers, solder, and electrical tape!

If you need to know wire colors just ask! And then you don't have to worry about wiring anything to the fuse box which is an unprofessional, unsafe, untrustworthy way of wiring ANYTHING up.

If the dealership sees that you have done this, they will laugh and blame whatever problems you have on that, if the connections are made properly they won't say a word. I actually had a tech @ my honda dealership tell me that I was excellent with electrical work because he saw how I hardwired my cell phone charger and my honda music link install.

Do it right the first time.
