Since I do NOT want charging while the car is off, I chose door #3 (switched)

You'll want to test with a test light as well but I can tell you the following:

Front Left to Right in my Picture:
Wire#1 Brown NOTHING
Wire#2 Yellow NOTHING
Wire#3 Green SWITCHED
Wire#4 Red CONSTANT
Thanks Dell!

I saw that doing my fan mod when installing the switches on the bat wing for the fans. Since I didn't know, I just covered it up..

Dell, Tim (Picture *****) here! Just getting caught up on threads.

I see you located the wiring in the upper center center console!

To further this:

Brown - Ground
Yellow - mute signal to radio
Green - Switched 12v
Red - Unswitched 12v

You are able to get to this 4 wired plug without unscrewing anything via 'a pull away carpetted triangular side panel' by your right calf when seated in the driving position(LHD). It is hanging down on it's own. BTW thanks for the info. I wondered what this plug could be used for. Now i know thanks to these postings and marked it up accordingly.

PS sorry.. I see that posting #14 says just the same as I am saying. I discovered mine when I was removing an old hard wired Radar detector. Thanks to you guys I hard wired my newer Cobra Radar detector into the ignition switch part last night. Plan on doing the same to my tom tom GPS today so they are both controlled via the ignition. Saves all this plugging and unplugging into the cig lighter. The other day I did some spirited driving and on arriving home discovered that I had not plugged the tom tom into the lighter. That can't happen again.

Great helpful (old) thread that needs a bump with a question.

How do you tap into that? What connectors are those?

I used a wire tap connector that I got from radio shack. The images below were from when I did the garage door mod but its the same:

OK - so you didnt "plug" into those connectors then.

Thats easier (but maybe not as clean?)!

Did anyone figure this out? The constant on mine works fine - but the switched wire is not getting power even when the car is running. I'm using it for the remote turn on for a tiny sub behind the drivers seat - the main power is a wire straight to the battery.

Pretty sure that it is a 10Amp fuse.
try fuse E6 & 8, are you sure that you are connected to the green wire?

Yep - it’s the only one with green on it though it does have a black stripe. What’s weird is the constant wire works just fine - only the switches on isn’t getting any power regardless of ignition position.
