clockie Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 I want to find a live 12volt feed point, which is only live when ignition on. On my mark one Galaxy 1996 auto petrol. This is for a retro fitted cruise control - self fitted by myself - the same kit that has been on five previous cars. The cruise control is working well but temporary plugged into the cig. socket. Please can someone tell me where I find find either a wire or junction box point (inside the car) which is only live when the ignition key switch is on. I currently have the lower panels off by the brake pedals. Many thanks guys for your help. Quote
clockie Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Posted April 25, 2008 The radio on mine, still appears to be live when ignition switch off. 'cos you can turn the radio on with the ign key out of the switch. Plus I did not want the hassle of getting the radio out. Many thanks anyway for your reply. I have used the radio feed and the cig socket feed on previous cars, but both are still live on this Gal, with the key out ! Quote
Smilge Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 Clockie ...you'll need to take the key out of the ignition to remove all the permanent +12V supplys. What I did was to trace the temporary +12V back to the fusebox by using a meter, and by inserting and removing the ignition key, you'll find one. The switched +12V for the radio operates just by inserting the ignition key, unlike most cars where you have to turn the ignition switch to position one. I did this to wire in a remote cable for the subwoofer. Quote
