Accessories Power Timeout
Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2019 11:29 am
Hi Everyone,
long time lurker, first time poster.
I have recently installed a secondary fusebox behind the glove box to power things like phone cradle, dash cam, UHF etc. It is wired with a relay to power on with the accessories power. The relay is powered via the +ig pin from the BCM as has been covered in depth on the newranger forums.
I really would like the secondary fuse box to allow power to continue for a time period after the engine is turned off (10mins or so), However the +ig feed cuts power instantly as soon as I turn the engine off.
Just wondering whats the best or easiest option to change this... hopeing some of the people on here might be able to provide advice on their set up, or whether my options below are even possible.
So far, I think I have 3 options (apart from leaving it alone), they are....
1) Use forscan to change the +ig power timeout (I really don't even know if this is possible - hoping someone on here might know)
2) Pick up accessories power from another source that's already similarly powered.
3) Use a Time Off Delay relay
its a PX3 XLT
Thanks in advance
