Accessory add on to fuse box

kjmass1 · Sep 14, 2010

I'm looking to hardwire a Magellan Roadmate 1700 to my LR2. Where can I hook into the fuse box for switched power? It says it is 720 mAh, which draws less than 1 amp, correct?

The "add a circuit" adaptors only go up to 10 amps, which is what I was hoping to use.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Kevin

Stay out of the interior fuse block and hook up a connection onto the under-hood fuse block.

Mike's right. The fuseboxes on the newer Rovers are not your father's fusebox. There are active circuits in the new ones and they are called (on the DII for example) as the intelligent driver module.

If there is a terminal available, use it, otherwise, tread very lightly.

I don't know anything about the LR2 but on the D2 there is a spade terminal in the fuse box itself the is switched with the ignition. Maybe your car has one in there too.

Thanks guys. That would be preferably so I'll have to take a look.

Did anyone figure which fuse I could use for switched power?

I used F5. Check out this thread:
