hey folks - as the post title states, Im looking to find a key-on switched circuit for a UHF/VHF radio
I have a mini-fuse ATO (add a circuit), and I was popping it in/out of various circuits (the radio wants a 10A, so all good)
1 rear seats (not sure what this circuit actually does, but it has constant power)
2 rear acc. power outlet (constant 12V)
13 rear climate controls (don't have the rear climate controls, no power)
16 accessory power outlets (assume these are the 2 outlets on the dash, no power)
19 rear seat entertainment (don't have, no power)
23 rear wiper (don't have, no power)
the rear circuit surprised me with 12V even with the key out…no idea what it does...
Do I need to go thru the firewall to the engine compartment fuse box, to find an open circuit?
Ive attached a document that has all the '13 3500HD pickup fuse blocks for anyone that wants a quick reference (both gas & diesel)
EDIT: I was chatting with my brother, and realized I was doing all this troubleshooting with the driver's door open, which MAY affect the ON-TIME, given some accesories stay powered on after key out for minute - maybe not with the door already open, but it's worth checking when it's not a windchill heading into the teens...oh well, ever forward!
