Technical Spare fuse for accessories?

[EvoStevo]

Hi, does anyone know where there is a spare fuseway in the fusebox that can be used for accessories? I want to put a multi way cig lighter adapter under the dash for all the sta nav, dvr etc and would rather wire it into the fusebox than through to the battery.

Best off, and probably easier, to wire it to the existing power aux feed if you want it ignition switched, this is what I do. Failing that if you want a constant live, then to the battery with an inline fuse next to the battery

if you want a constant live pull the bonnet open handle off....... remove the 1 pozzi screw (above the bonnet release)

remove plastic trim


there is a big jucy live feed black wire which unless you have a high spec model with boot fuse box is there for the taking ;-)


earth point is under the passenger side foot board trim... just under it.....

Cheers, although I think I want to put this on a permanent live and do not want to mess with going through the bulkhead (although - where can I do that?).

Where is "the existing power aux feed" ??

then remove this screw

Cheers Andy, I'll try and get around to this next week, weather permitting.

I have enough inline fuse kits etc so I think I'll wire it up via a switch.

Hmm, now where to put a switch? It would be nice to have a dash one, wonder whats not used.... I need to look.
