Switched ignition source that turns on/off with engine?

omniphil · 03-11-2024, 09:58 AM

I have the radar detector connected to fuse F46 currently. But it will stay running for 10 minutes after car is off.

Is there a fused source that is more conventional and goes on/off with the engine?

If the horn doesn’t work when the car is off, I like to use that. Not very critical in case the fuse happens to blow for whatever reason.

So it seems like all the accessory stuff stays on after reading that thread. I guess I'll just leave it the way it is....

Thanks!
