That is probably what will be needed. I do have a fuse in the left side fuse box that is definitely ignition hot. Last week I made this point on the AudiWorld forum that this fuse has a slight delay going hot, and a much longer delay going cold when ignition is switched off. This did fool me for a while and led to some head scratching. I wonder why we still call it "ignition" with a diesel engine. I have used an "addacircuit fuse to the relevant fuse
.
I think this next bit will need to appear in a different thread when the playing is finished with. I am experimenting with this currently (pun not intended) to supply media players with power by way of a latching relay that is operated by a single contact push button, that is one push it is on, second push it is off, and when ignition is switched off it goes off, then when ignition is switched on again it stays off until the button is pushed. The button has a blue led in it that switches with the relay as a reminder that the power is on to the hidden media players.
Hope this makes sense. Age is slowing the grey matter an awful lot. I understand but putting pen to paper is not as easy as it used to be. Of course when I started the theory of current flow was +ve to -ve, then it changed to the opposite, then holes were invented and it was back to nearly the original. Then they got rid of Pounds, Shillings and Pence.
Must get off my soapbox!!
