It is bit awkward, but I wonder if you also have a fuse there and perhaps know what is it for?

In the end I used fuse no 20 as it powers on only with the key in, so it won't drain the battery. I checked the manual what is the fuse no 20 for and it says it's the towing wiring (Even though the car doesn't have a towing bar?).

Thanks for any help
The Electrical Wiring Diagram DVD shows l4/58 Rear Electronic Module (REM) lists fuse number 14 as
F14
16/79 Bass speaker - 15A
6/76 Climate control system, rear XC90 - 15A
16/79 Subwoofer Module (SUB), XC90 -15A
whilst fuse 20 lists as
F20
17/38 7-pin outlet, tow hitch cable harness - 20A
17/39 13-pin outlet, tow hitch cable harness - 20A

As yours is an S60 it must be for a bass speaker; if there is no bass speaker fitted a previous owner either removed it or had something else connected there for a constant live, it is sometimes used to connect an aftermarket boot mounted CD player which only becomes live when the ignition is turned on even though the player is "live" it doesn't draw current until the circuit is completed by the head unit being turned on.
