Once you
ha
ve
located
the fuse box
,
you
need to
look
at
the layout
of
the fuse box. If there are any spare or empty fuse
holde
r
s
,
it is better to
utilize those. This should avoid removing any
existing fuses.
If t
his does not
apply
, you should refer to the vehicle's
fuse diagram to
locate
fuses that will
be safer to run an accessory
from
.
We recommend looking for fuses such
as
:
power outlets, accessory
fuses,
interior lights,
heated seats.
You should avoid using fuses for air bags, ECU, traction control and
ABS or
any other safety related feature.

Finding the correct fuse.
The device requires both a constant (permanent live) and a switched
ignition live.
In order to test whether a fuse is ignition switched or always
on, y
ou will need a circuit tester or similar
.
If you are testing an empty fuse
slot,
put the tip of your tester into the slot directly
.
I
f you are testing on fuse
slots that have existing fuses in them, you can test using the openings
on
the top of the fuse.
The
Red
(ACC) cable needs to be connected to
an ignition switched
fuse,
therefore you need to test that the power is live
ONLY
when the
ignition is
switched
ON
.
If the fuse stays live up even after you turn off
the car, try to
use a different fuse slot.
The Yellow (B+) cable needs to be connected to a permanent live
(this is essential for parking mode). Turn the ignition OFF and remove the
key to find a fuse which remains live.
Note: Newer vehicles may have a battery save function. They have timed
'timed fuses' which stay live for a set number of minutes after the car
ignition is turned off.
WARNING: this type of installation should be performed by a
qualified or competent individual. Working with your vehicle's
electrical system
can be dangerous.
If you have any doubts, please consult a professional
