Default Mild2Wild and Mini Curb Alert

Have both Mini-Curb Alert and Mild2Wild installed in my 427 Vert.

The Mild2Wild is installed in the no battery-drain configuration, using the Seat Heater Fuse Location.

The Mini-Curb Alert instructions indicated that I needed to use the Seat Heater Fuse Location, but it is obviously "taken".

Posed the question to the Forum and was told that the OnStar Fuse Location would work properly.

Hooked everything up as suggested and both devices worked perfectly this past summer.

Have the 427 Vert hooked up to a GM/Corvette Trickle Charger connected into the cigar lighter socket for Winter Storage.



I recently walked around to the front of the car, and the Mini-Curb alert alarm went off.

The instructions for the mini-curb alert indicates that it automatically shuts down after 10 minutes of non-use(not sure what this means).

Is the OnStar fuse location not the correct alternate location for the Mini-Curb Alert?

How do I correct this situation in the summer when the car is sitting in the garage, not hooked up to the trickle charger (I am assuming that the mini-curb alert is not shutting down and continues to draw power)?

Thanks for the advice.

I believe the wiper fuse is switched.

Use a test light or a meter and find a fuse that is not live when the ign is off.

If the curb alert has it's own fuse you can connect to the power side of the any switchable fuse.

Come on. It's the fuse location not having the Onstar activated.
