Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help - I'm feeling a bit frustrated to say the least.
My car is a 2002 C180 estate and I am trying to hardwire a dashcam. I have the correct kit I think, including an add-on fuse. I'm trying to use one of the fuses in the fuse box under the steering wheel inside the car to provide the power.
The issue is that I only want the dashcam to draw power when the key is turned, but whatever fuse I use powers up the dashcam even without the key being turned. My reading of the fuse key (or whatever it is called) is that some of the things powered by the fuses in this fuse box should only be on when the ignition is turned.
I've attached files that show what fuses should be in this fuse box.
Anyway, any kind of steer would be great!
