constant live ?
-> 206 Problems

#1: constant live ? Author: lulzs3c PostPosted: Sat Sep 27, 2014 7:24 am
    ----
basically I have a few things in my car that need a constant live 24/7

Im struggling to find a constant live towards the front of the car, ideally somewhere behind the radio or multifunction display.

ive tried using the constant live from the radio but the problem is that makes my speakers distorted.

Tried checking for a constant live from the locking/4 way flashers button but couldn't even find the positive/negative Confused

don't particularly want to drill through into the front of the car and run it directly from the battery as there's a chance it could short out.


Any ideas ?

edit: forgot to mention it's a peugeot 206 glx 1.6L

Pre-plex or multi-plex?

Are you checking for a constant live with the car in eco mode?

Don't have a clue to be honest, erm no but the car keeps jumping in and out of eco mode for no reason, even when im driving.

Should be an existing hole in the torpedo wall behind the glove box (RHD cars). There's a constant +12V bolt in the engine compartment fusebox. Place an inline fuse on the wire, close to the fuse box, sized for the wire gauge you use.
That fuse is there to protect against a short drawing enough current to get the wire glowing, malting or setting stuff on fire.

A relatively thin wire could also be run inbetween wing and A-pillar, down to the spare hole next to the one with the wires to the door. Punch small hole in the rubber and push wire through...
