  • CB Radio Power Supply Relay

    Hi all,

    I have a 2008 D4D VX. Great machine. My CB radio is mounted in an overhead console and I have it wired to my auxiliary battery. All works well but I am forever leaving it on. Haven't flattened the battery yet but every time I leave it on I make a mental note to install a relay into the circuit that will turn power of if the ignition is not on.

    Can anyone help with the colour coding of the wire loom that runs in front of the inside fuse compartment. I need a 12V supply that is only alive when the ignition is on so that I can tap into it for a relay . Alternatively, is there an accessible wire within the engine compartment to do the same thing.

    Would rather do it that way than have to remove dash components to access the cigarette lighter 12V supply.

    Thanks in anticipation. Hope some one can help.

    Use a multimeter. You can pick them up for under $50. Thats all I did when I needed my endless air clutch to turn off when I turned the ignition off. I just used the biggest wire I could find. In your case its only a relay so any wire would do

      Thanks for that. Will dig around. DHave done a more extensive search and found a thread titled "Easy ignition power on access in the engine bay"
      Could be an easy source in the fuse box - spare ign fuse. Also the wiper motor. Will check today.

      Thanks

        I was under the impression that having the aux battery power the UHF was the way to go so that the main battery wouldn't be run flat and that it was a good safety/emergency type setup - allowing the radio to be left on all the time while on trips...

        I've left mine on a number of times without flattening the battery - but I have it installed as such for this reason and also because I have the portable UHF which the kids can take when going for a walk and with the radio on in the car without the ignition on I know they can always contact us.

          Doesn't seem to far in the future that the kids will be taking the car instead and leaving you with the CB?
