Help finding always on power source

SouthArk370Z

I'll see what I can find. Might take a day or two (it can be a PITA to find things in the FSM at times).

I have my cell phone charger plugged into the cigarette lighter (or whatever the PC term is nowadays) on the passenger side with the phone thrown in the cubby. The cig lighter is only hot when the engine is running, but it's on enough to keep the phone charged. Tapping into the back of the cig lighter may be a good alternative for you.


Edit: Finding the connector/pin info for the FUSE BLOCK (J/B) (that's what Nissan calls the fuse block in the driver footwell) was pretty easy, but I'm assuming that since you can't read wiring diagrams, figuring out connectors and pins isn't your thing either. I'll post wire colors when I find them.

I think I've found a few B+ wires on the Fuse Block (J/B). I believe this info to be correct, but keep in mind that I'm just Some Guy On The Intertubes. Use at your own risk. Trust, but verify. Most of the info was taken from the PG section of the 2009 FSM.

On the left side of the fuse block are three connectors. The top one is M3, middle M2, and bottom M1.
M1 pins are numbered, LTRTTB, 1A, 4A, 2A, 5A, x, 6A, x, 7A, 3A, 8A.
M2 pins are numbered, LTRTTB, 1B, 5B, 2B, 6B, x, 7B, x, 8B, 3B, 9B, 4B, 10B.
x = no connection.
See PG-84 of the 2009 FSM for a pretty drawing.

Pin 4A of connector M1 is B+. Wire color is shown as "P", but I can't remember if that's Pink or Purple - there is a list somewhere in the FSM. It is powered by fuse 9 (10A) in the fuse block.

Pin 6B of connector M2 is B+. Wire color is yellow. Powered by fuse 6 (10A) in the fuse block.

Pin 8B of connector M2 is B+. Wire color is red. B+ from IPDM (E5-7). I do not recommend using this one. If you do, make sure to install an inline fuse as close as possible to your tap.
