I know this subject has been posted already but I kind of running into issues.
I used the fuse box on the left side (Driver Side) and once I was done I realized that all fused are 12 volts permanent and not linked to the ignition. I was a bit shocked about that.
As result, the radar is connected and up all the time. Big Deal? I’m not sure.
The current draw from the radar detector is .223 Amp which is equivalent to less than 3 watts. If the battery is 40 Ah it should be sufficient for 6 days. Is the 12v battery not charged even the car is in sleep mode? I’m not willing to go to the other side of the car to tap into a non-permanent 12 volts fuse box.
Any suggestion beside switching the radar off when not used for many days?
