Switched live pickup
Going to be fitting a temperature gauge for external temperature on our 110 2.2. I’m full on the aux board I’ve put in so was looking to pull power from behind the dash for the gauge as it’s only 2 Amps.

Is there anything obvious? I know 33/34/35 in the fuse box is switched…. Thoughts?

That bluesea unit from the other thread on temp sensors (which I've now reluctantly had to add to my own rather long list!) Rolling with laughter you could just swap out for the cig lighter socket and it would only be on with ignition?

I guess if depends if you use the cig lighter socket.

Many thanks Gent’s, the Cigarette switched feed it is. Due to a twist of fate I’m now going with the Bluesea temp gauge & as Harry has suggested I may just remove it due to the fact we have an additional 3 sockets on the central cubby.
