Need wiring diagram for fuse panel
Does anyone have wiring diagrams for the fuse panel above the passenger footwell? I would like to make power to my center console cigarette lighter receptacle hot at all times and not just with the ignition on.
This is the fuse panel where the current battery cable connector recall is performed. We just had ours done at the dealership. It took about 1.5hours and they replaced the wiper blade refills as part of it's second annual. Thanks, Mick

This is all I have ever seen, probably not of much help

Thanks but those are too general. The first one is stuffed in the fuse panel, you can find it once you lower it. The second one points out all the E85/E89 differences. Thanks for the links.
I'm thinking of using either #20, 45 or 46 which should be hot at all times for the power seats, to feed #8 which appears to be a power jack and I'll have to verify it's the one I want. Mick

Check first if the power remain for the seats once the car goes into sleep mode, I'm pretty sure that power to all the accessory panel goes off once the car goes to sleep.
If this is the case, your best option will be to rewire a new circuit straight from the battery with it's own fuse |

I'll be sure to check the large positive cable that supplies the fuse panel once the car is sleeping. I'm pretty sure it still has a feed directly from the battery at all times. The receivers for the alarm and the key fob have to be powered from somewhere.
Thanks, Mick

SUCCESS!! Constant power to both cigarette lighter receptacles.
I completed the modification today. The seats do indeed go to sleep with the rest of the interior in sleep mode.
I found that terminal #3 (the operating contact) of relay K1 on the fuse panel has 12V at all times. I simply removed the 20A atm fuse from position #8 in the fuse panel and verified that it was the 12V source for both cigarette lighter receptacles. The right leg of that fuse is the load side that goes directly to both receptacles. I added a waterproof atm fuse holder and soldered it to the operating contact of the K1 relay and plugged the other end into the load side position of fuse #8 on the panel. Now I have 12V at both receptacles at all times. I used the original atm 20A fuse in the new fuse holder. I used a waterproof fuse holder because it is totally covered in rubber and can not short anything in the fuse panel. Works great! I'll but some detailed pictures up once I have time to do some editing. Mick
