switched

Hi all, Been a Ford lover these past years but after being invited on an AMG performance drive I was bitten by the AMG bug. Can't afford a new one but just picked up a 3 year old CLA45 AMG today and I'm over the moon with it. Anyway, just saying hello and hoping to get to know you all in...

Trying to find an ignition switched live in the drivers side fuse box in order to fit my dash cam. All the circuits apear to be permanently live. Can anyone help:(

Hello first and foremost I'm looking for a way in which I can get switched power so my headunit turns off with the key. At the moment my accessory wire on my headunit runs straight to the battery with an inline fuse, this results in the there being constant power and the head unit always...

Trying to fit a dashcam to the new motor. Want to wire it to the passenger fuse panel 301-341. Looked at the fuse map in the fuse box and there is a fuse for the Panoramic Roof. This must be switched 12v because the sunroof won't open if the egnition is off. But there is no fuse in the slot...

I need to fit a 12v socket in the glovebox to power my dashcam,anyone done this little mod? I do have the CD changer fitted and wonder if there may be a switched live already present :dk:

Hi, I'm new to the forum and i'm experiencing a problem whereby I switch my headlights on and I get a dash light ABS ASR. If I switch to full beam the speedo stops working and maybe i'm being paranoid but the steering seemed that bit heavier too. I even noticed this evening that the gear...

I've bought a dashcam with a hardwire kit. On an E Class 212, where can I pick up power for either switched (ignition on activated) or permanent live? There's a motion detector (with battery protection) which would enable a permanent live to be used. What about the interior light...

Hi, I have a really annoying thing happen on my CLK (2009 plate convertible) which is when I switch the heater on, the front windscreen steams up and where I could previously see out of the window, I now see nothing for about a minute whilst it demists. I also notice that sometimes when I'm...

Hi everyone, ive bought myself an 04 SL 500, nice spec car and just in the last month had the ABC pump replaced so felt confident about the car. Ive now noticed that when I switch the car off a metallic clicking/pinging noise coming from the N/S from wheel area, at first I thought it was the...

Found a strange problem on the car this morning in that, the car has been parked on my driveway and locked since Sunday, the radio was switched on & playing away to an empty car. I unlocked the car & pressed the button to turn it off & the word Phone appeared on the screen. In 7 years I've...

2002 w211 e320cdi. I drove home from work with no message, got home, went back out 45mins later & dash said electrical consumers switched off. It said it all night while i was out out & didnt go off. Today i checked the batteries, both are 2 months old, rear one had 10.8v before starting, then...

With the help of this forum I am learning a bit more about my W210:thumb: Is it normal to have a hissing sound come from the 2 vacuum pipes that go into what I believe is the egr vacuum control valve? The noise lasts about 10 seconds after switching engine off. I've not experienced this on...

Only noticed this recently and only on German cars, but the hazard lights flash at a different intervals depending on whether the ignition is off or on. They illuminate and flash for a shorter time when the ignition is off. Easiest way to notice it is putting the hazards on just before you...
