  1. What a gong show... Turns out I had constant power, needed accessory power. Ended up taking out the dash media unit, uninstalled my new gauges, dug around with a test light for another hour or so... No idea where any accessory power is in that s.o.b... Guess the head unit comes on by magic. Anyway, ended up putting in a rocker switch wired from a DC outlet to use as remote-on, installed permanent usb outlet there, powers OM-1 and Volt meter... Now can kill charge outlet and meters when parked or when not wanted. These new cars are a PIA.
  2. Hey! Thanks for your reply. That was my plan, and I had a fuse-tap on hand, but it's in a 2015 F150, and the fuse box is using ATL fuses, so I don't think my ATM fuse tap will work... Searched for a constant on, and finally gave up... I'm just worried that the "accessory on" power-ups are going to fry the OM-1 after a half-dozen start ups... Can uninstall and rewire if I have to, but it's not an easy fix. Would be nice if it was cool the way I've got it...
  3. Just installed an OM-1. Couldn't find a constant power source behind the dash, so I joined the constant power and remote power wires from the OM-1 to an "accessory on" wire from a 12V outlet. Is this bad news, or does it really make any difference. I'm not sure why the OM-1 needs a constant power supply... Thanks for your help!
