OK, so here's the deal. i have a radar detector in my car, its currently operated out of the cigarette lighter. anyway, i want to be able to hardwire it to my fusebox so that i can hide the wire. by having it plugged into my lighter (which i dont use anyway) it just leaves a long wire with lots of slack just dangling around the interior which gets in the way alot and just looks ugly.
for those that know my car, i have a dual gauge pod on the a-pillar and an autometer 5" tach (i know its ricer in approach, but it will be coming out soon) anyway, i had the detector mounted right there in that same location so it was pretty hard to notice while the car is being driven. anyway, i recently moved it up to the top of the windshield behind the factor "tint strip" at the top (where its a dark blue fade at the top) and have the wire running along the perimeter of the windshield, behind the gauge pod, and back down to the lighter. my goal is to eliminate the wire from plain view. the detector is almost impossible to spot even if you're standing just a few feet from the car.
anyway, enough of the story. i used to have a detailed diagram of the fuse box's free pin setup, but can't find it anywhere anymore. i would like to know which free pin i can use so that the detector will be on when the car is running. don't need it on if i'm not driving, so i really only want it on when the car is running.
the only pic i could find of the fusebox:
the pin circled is the one i have my foglights wired to (if i remember correctly, might be mistaken) but i would like to know which one i can wire the detector to. thanks for all the help and reading the long ass post. if i wasn't clear on any of the info, please ask, i can give more info as needed.
if you want, just "edit" the picture i posted and just circle another usable pin for my application in a different color.
again, car is a 92 DA Integra
