Default Tapping forward fuse box for power

I recently added a device to my Z51. I needed power on when the engine was running but otherwise off. Perhaps my findings may be of some help to others in the future.




C7 CorvetteEngine Compartment Fuse Box
Listed below are some of the easily accessible fuses that can be “tapped” easily withan add on fuse tap device generally available.
Only those with no voltage with the engine off are listed.
Those with an “X” after them have normal ~12 volt DC voltage when the engine isrunning.


15X 14 19 28X
27X 30X 31X 32X
42X 36X 41 34

Thanks. Out of curiosity, what voltage do the one's without an X provide (if you made note of that)?

I did not record that voltage. Sorry.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of figuring this out on my own.

To be clear, the Fuse numbers with the X have switched 12v, correct?

That is correct Elmer. Engine off = no power. Engine on = power.
