1SA wiring question
I am trying to hard wire my V1 detector so that it will turn on and off with the ignition. Tried using the wiring for the mirror, but the 2 hot leads stay hot all the time ( not switched as with the 1SB), and I have more than once forgotten to turn off the V1, and come back several hours later and its hot as hell.
I can't seem to find a switched wire under the dash or at both fuse boxes, without tearing up a harness, which I am loathe to do.
Any 1SA's out there that has already solved this problem ?

Check to see if the fuse position for the heated seats is active and turns on and off.
If so....Email me and i'll send you complete instructions with pics and a PN for an "add a circuit" to use.

Thanks for the responses ! 
I didn't know there was a fuse like that (added tap), but will check it out.
Pat, yes, the heated seats are active and switch on with ignition (motor running, not on acc). E mail coming to ya !

I tried 4 different auto supply stores, as well as rat shack, and best I could find was the "add a fuse" for the larger atc fuses instead of the atm fuses(won't work due to spacing), so I copied Clem and used a thin piece of brass jammed into the socket along with the existing fuse.
Working ok.
Thanks all.

You can cut down the fuse tap to match the fuse blade size.

I thought the heated seat option wasn't available on the 1SA package?

Use this Forum thread for your V1. I used it to wire my Passport and the pictures were real easy to follow.

On the 1SA, there are 2 hot wires, and both stay hot (altho 1 goes off, then back on once dimmer lights go off when ignition off)...which is why I need the add-a-circuit...don't want the detector to stay hot while ignition is off.
I did find the correct add-a-circuit at another auto zone, so its in now.
Thanks all for the help.
PS...anyone know how to retrieve a dropped fuse from behind the fuse panel under the carpet ??? Not worth tearing apart to get it....
