Fuse Box - any unused / switched?

[sws1]

I'm looking to connect my V1 radar detector to the fuse box, and want to know if any of the unused spots are switched so that power is cut when key is removed.

Thx

Hi,

Here is a location on installing a radar detector. Maybe

this will help with your fuse box question.

To answer my own question, I found out that fuse 1, row 3 is switched on my car. Trial and error with the open slots figured it out.

A fairly simple solution is to avoid the fuse box entirely but probe for a wire leading from it to 'borrow' switched power. Use a straight pin and a multimeter to learn which have switched power and which are on all the time. DO NOT go anywhere near any YELLOW wires--as they are to air bags. Any perceived oltage drop will fire these off.

I chose a fairly thick black wire that lead from the top of the fuse box assembly for my V1 source. Do a search on Rennlist for my "Another V1 Intallation."
