Switched power supply under bonnet

Bill Edmondson · Aug 5th, 2011, 19:08

Hi Guys, looking for an easy switched 12v power supply under the bonnet, any clues anybody?

Thanks Bill

Any of the unconnected connectors without a home switched perhaps?

Was basically hoping that one of the unused terminations might be what I'm looking for rather than piggy backing if you get my meanin?

Its for those drls

Ah!!! follow yer train of thought now Bill ..... Probs the best (& Nearest) point would be yer Washer Bottle Pump (down by yer front wing) I know there is a relay down there (for the Headlight Wipers) so you'll have a PERM live & a SWITCHED LIVE as well

Ok found one and done but.....

I popped the lid on the fuse box, under the bonnet. In there apart from fuses and relays is one large grey output loom on one grey connector.
I put my multimeter across them and found 4 switched outputs Great!!
So I popped off the connector so I could piggy back my led + cable into one of the crimped spades inside it. Did that tested and it's working perfectly.
But now I have airbag service warning, due to me disconnecting that grey Plug doh!!
Can I reset this myself by disconnecting the battery for a certain time, or is it a Volvo dealer reset and test type situation??

Sat in Caffyn's Volvo now for a system reset, fingers crosssed the airbag warning goes, and let's see if I get a discount for being a voc member
