Hi all,

New to the forum because I'm seeking some assistance! I tried to install a dashcam in my Grande Punto (2007) this morning and it seems the fusebox in the dashboard is constantly receiving power, even when the ignition is turned off?

I tried it in both the front/rear washer fuse as well as the ignition fuse itself, but the camera is still receiving power from the battery even when I take out the key and leave the car. Is this normal behaviour or am I missing something?

Thank you for your help in advance! :)
 
Hello, I've also installed dash cam in my '08 GP. Fuse box seems standardized across different model years. According to fuse diagrams online and my testing right half of fuse box is switched. I tapped bottom right fuse, designated for controls illumination and blue&me control unit, with value of 7.5A. Everything works as it should, camera turns on and off with ignition.

Picture of installation is attached to this post
