Hi,

Was wondering where's the best place to wire in a 12V accessory that I want to turn on when the ignition is on? I want to put it on the #1 radio fuse for my 86 240 but I don't think anyone makes an add a fuse for torpedo type fuses. I don't wanna cut and solder in on another wire if I can help it. Anyone dunnit?

Thanks,

Mike

    I've always been able to find a spare, unused terminal on the load side of the fuse holder, but if you find the one you want to use full, you can get a piggyback 1/4" Faston like illustrated in #12 below.

      Art the man! Thanks a lot, great schematics/photos. I didn't know that all those blades on the right side are spares good old volvo. I got it all wired up on my #1 radio fuse and it works! Thanks again!
