Hi guys

Does anyone know which wire under the glove box gives strong jumper power? I need 13-16V supply for equipment but can't find out which one gives strong power supply when the ignition is pushed on.

Thanks

The fuse block is behind the glove box. I believe that the the top row of fuses is on all the time and the bottom row is switched. Use any space. Just use a stakon tab to stick in the upper part and put a inline fuse in the circuit.

I'm not sure that power slot/socket is standard on cars outside the USA...

There are no power sockets under footwell in European version cars.. I tried all fuse slots behind the glove box and ALL of them are HOT. Found more fuses in the trunk and finally found 4 cold ones when car is off. 2x20Amp, 10Amp and 5Amp fuses.

Next question is which one should I connect my equipment to which uses 5Amp fuse or does it even matter which one I connect it to?
