Constant power wire behind dash?

[Ex-Rocket]

Is there a constant 12 VDC wire that I can tap into behind the dash? I know their is an orange/red wire that is switched power but I'm looking for a constant 12VDC as I'm installing a clock which requires a constant 12 volts and also a switched 12 volts. I have a 2015 RTS

Can't you just run a fused link down to the battery? :dontknow:

I did that when I installed my TomTom GPS and my 12v/ USB port that I got from JT. Do they make some kind of extension off the battery posts to add extra stuff so that you don't have to add them to the existing battery bolt?

I don't know; you could contact JT, and see if he's got a suggestion or two laying around... :thumbup:

use two "Posi-Taps" off the existing wire that you already have attached to your battery.

PM me your address and i will send you two, free of charge.


UPDATE: Posi-Taps sent.

Yes, there are several styles, and TricLED sells 2 of them. On the basic side there is the Fuze Block and on the really cool high end there is the Neutrino Black Box.

I'd love to have a Neutrino, you can do some really cool stuff with it beyond basic wire distribution.

Here is picture of what is behind the dashboard on a 2014RTS-SE6: on the right side there are 2 wires that goes to the temperature gauge.

I purchased JT's dash mount and also his B-Ball which bolts to the dash mount and then attached my Ram mount to mount the TomTom GPS. I then ran a wires down to battery for power.

On my 2015 RTs the power wire to the analog gas gage is constantly powered. I have removed my gas gage and installed a USB outlet in it's place and it is constantly powered.
