B-rad Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I am installing an add-on Sirius Radio to my 2011 Edge SE. I need a source of 12V that is switched with the ignition (or accessories). Does anyone know a source for switched voltage in the Edge? Most of the switched voltage is only 2.4V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a fuse tap and find a fuse to replace that's switched. Either you're measuring it wrong or there's something wrong with your voltmeter.

I have measured the voltage at the fuse block and at several points on various wires. I believe the 2.4V is correct. I think these lines have something to do with the CAN-Bus System. I am hoping someone can point me to a specific location (fuse, wire, etc.) to tap into. I have already checked a bunch of locations. I would prefer not guessing anymore.

nextime Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 There should be 12v at the ignition switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman254 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks to IV XX. Fuse 35 is the ticket. Nice of Ford to put the fuse box in an awkward spot, then use min low profile fuses. I pulled nearly every damn fuse in there till I found this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
