I was wiring up some interior lights last night and i wired the lights to the fuse box under the dome light fuse so it can have constant power. As i was doing them i was thinking... I wish i knew how Mitsubishi did that.. Under what fuse would i tape into that would allow me to have the aftermarket interior lights i install turn on whenever i unlocked my car door or opened the doors..? Does anyone have a clue what fuse this would be? I now know its not the dome/interior lights fuse.

Thanks.

 

it actually runs off a relay somewhere, but I haven't traced it out yet. Someday I will.

I did find that the Evo X is prewired for a rear 12v outlet tho. There's a panel behind the arm rest. if you pop it off, there's a plug for an outlet there. Then, under the cup panel, there's an undone empty plug and a male plug. When you click them together...tada! You got 12v power outlet lol

 

^ haha serious? Nice! What's a cup panel? lol

 

I want to find this "relay" it runs off so i can tap into it! I was hoping it would be a fuse...

 

Oh sorry the center console assembly thing that pops off.

 

Well it would have to be something that controls the voltage timeout. I can figure it out and will post it.

 

Thanks!

 

Any luck?

 

Any luck finding out the relay? Or fuse?

 

Huh! The RA already has the 12V outlet in the console - why wouldn't the EVO? [shrug]

 

What? Did u even read what I am asking?

 

^Sorry. I was responding to this statement:

But it is and doesn't help your original question. I apologize.

I am interested in the answer as well - but because I want to start booting my stereo sooner and need a 12VDC signal that is activated with the door unlock.

 

I'll look tonight I promise! I've got it all ripped apart

 

this is an auxiliary one that would be for the back seat passengers I guess

 

I like the idea, however you will still lose constant power when you start the car. having a 12V accessory lead that kicks on the stereo when you unlock the doors is cool, but the stereo will cycle power when you start the car. sorry. Cool idea though.
