Mk8 Fiesta Fuses

[DJFern94]

Hi I trying to work out which fuses are switched and which are live on a MK8 Fiesta. I believe that the Audio Unit is a timed switched live, however are there any that people know are instantly switched?

This is currently how I have the hardwire kit wired into the car. (Going to fuse 3 and fuse 4).

 

Thanks

Wipers should be

Good shout! But unfortunately not an option on the interior fuse box.

Parking assist (as you already have) or climate control would be my best guess at instant switched lives. Other than that I'd check the spare ones (such as fuse 15).

Thanks, just out of interest. If I was to try and put my permanent line into fuse 20 (the Anti-Theft Alaram Horn) would that be better than the line from fuse 4 (Push button ignition switch)

As long as they're both permanently live it makes no difference. I take it this is because you have a dashcam with parking mode?

Yes I do, the way I currently have it hooked up on fuses 3 and 4 is not engaging the parking mode properly.

Hi. Which fuses did you end up tapping into. Currently about to install a Thinkware U1000 with parking mode. Cheers!
