I'm running a dash cam and the Constant 12V really irks me.
Is thee a simple fix to make it Switch of with ignition. On a Search I found https://electronics.stackexchange.co...hen-car-is-off From Site Above......Check your owner's manual. Most Fords (and Ford lines) and many Chrysers have a fuse block which will power it one way or the other, it's as simple as changing the position of the fuse for the lighter. If it's another model, it may be as simple as "jumping" from an ignition controller circuit to the other, or vice versa. You can do this easily with low power devices, don't do it if you are going to use it with the actual lighter, which pulls a low of juice to heat. Otherwise, check YouTube for a couple of beginner videos on adding a lighter to your current auto. im sure My Focus cant do that .. Is it just a matter of Cutting a wire and moving it. ? Has anyone done this Would like 12V off when ignition off.. |
