I have purches a voltage meter can someone please tell me where I can wire this into as I can't use my lighter as it always on an I don't want to much running when ignition is off

What voltage do you want to read?

Sent from my iPad using Ford OC

Well it is to read how my battery is doing so I want it to read off the battery so I think 12v thanks

Do you want to monitor the battery voltage?

You could just connect an OBD device or go into the Instrument cluster menu to display the electronic displays. I'e exact revs etc

If you want to wire in the voltage monitor, just splice into the cigarette lighter feed. Or if you only want to see the voltage when the ignition is on, go into the spare ignition switched fuses in the fuse box

Hi yes just the battery voltage and can't use the lighter as the lighter is on when ignition is off and I only want it to come on when the ignition is on where shell I connect it thanks

Look in your fuse box & find an empty socket. Connect the voltage meter & earth it to a bolt above the fuse box.

Probe each fuse and find one which comes on when the ignition is on

Alternatively, use a multimeter to find a switched feed

Or, go into the switched radio feed

If I connect it to the fuse box will I need to add a fuse and could I connect the live to the red lead on radio and the black leads to a earth somewhere thanks

The radio doesn't just have Red & black

If you wire to red and black you'll have a constant feed. The yellow is switched I believe. There should be a blue 12v+ on the radio too
