12v live power needed full time

**Corey** · 04-15-2007, 07:11 AM

The in cab fuse box has the extra plugs in it.
I plan on using one of these taps that was brought up in a thread somewhere.

Going to wire my ARB fridge to it.

Has anyone used the extra fuse slots, and if so, can you point me to one that is live all the time with the key off?
That is if there is even one there that is full time.

Thanks,

Easy to find with a VOM or a test light like this one on ebay. The pointed tip allows you to check a wire through the insulation. I've had a Snap-On brand test light for years, but this one is much cheaper and is all a shade tree mechanic would need.

Here's one that taps into the sub wire (live all time).

There was a quick mod outlined on YotaTech.com for the 4Runner where a small jumper is made and plugged into the circuit for the 12v power plug, making it live full-time. It was so simple that even I did it!

Is there a similar mod for the FJ?

Corey, I don't know if you want to go through the trouble of installing one of these, if your only going to use one fuse for live power. But here is a link to my 12 volt fuse block thread.

Guy's, this is an old thread from April.
I have since added 12v power to the rear.

That was to power this puppy.

N8RV, I remember that mod on YotaTech, many did it.
It is in the tech writeup section.

My bad

I should have looked at the date of the thread

Shadow, I am of the same mind as you when it comes to electrical systems. I ran a Circuit Boss 7 circuit fuse block from Painless Wiring straight from the battery to the same place, although I did not make such a nice mounting plate. This fuse block has 4 switched circuits and 3 constant current circuits. It was $68 and came with everything I needed.

NC,

Any pics of your set-up? I would like to do this mod and am curious about the best/most heavy-duty option for the fuse block.

Thanks!
