Dash cam / fuse box

Bigal839 · Dec 16, 2018

I tried wiring my dash cam in today but every 5 amp / 7.5 amp I tried stayed on after I'd turned the ignition off Any ideas which is a switched fuse?
Cheers

Cig' lighter fuse?

Bigal839 · Dec 16, 2018

That fuse is in the engine compartment fuse box. I want one in the fuse box below the glovebox.

What age/model is your car?

Bigal839 · Dec 16, 2018

It's a 2007.

Why not just wire it to the back of the power socket.

td4van · Dec 16, 2018

Have you checked the power doesn’t shut off after the car is locked and it’s gone to sleep from the fuses you’ve looked at?

I wired mine to the 12v socket next to the gearstick,

Mines the same as others. Wired to the back of the cig lighter although I believe Nodge is correct and they are now auxiliary power sockets.

Just had my dash cam wired in by Halfords. I know he wired it into the fuse box in the glove box but don’t know which fuse he wired it to. When I get chance I’ll have a look.

That will be great, thanks.

Any chance of checking fuse number ?

It's ok, I've found a fuse. What would we do without youtube.

Sure, it's the fourth fuse in from the left top row. 5 amp.

I’m so sorry Bigal839, I compleatly forgot about this. I’ve just been out to get a picture if it helps. The thick red wire with inline fuse is something to do with it but that’s all I can see sorry.
