I am trying to make the bluetooth telephone a usable option.
I find that if the phone is in the car and on when it is started it will always work properly so I have a phone that I am not using and it is connected to a charger plugged into the power outlet inside the console.
Problem is that if the phone is discharged from staying in the car with the ignition off for 24 hours, it wont connect on starting. I want to make that outlet hot even with the ignition off.
The fuses #9 and #10 are for the console power connector and the rear cig lighter.are in the fuse box next to the drivers knee also in that same fuse box (the one beside the drivers knee) is the fuse for the brake light and the fuse for the starting circuit. One of these must be hot on one end even with ignition off. So I am thinking removing the connection to the switched power from fuse #9 and putting a jumper to the hot end of the brake fuse should make the console power connector hot all the time. BUT, I dont have a schematic to verify this.
Can anyone tell me where I might find a schematic of that fuse box.

I always wanted an Always-On power outlet. Thanks for the inspiration, jimisbell...

I went ahead to make the modification this morning. Here's how I did it...
