Congrats on your new Spyder...

Maybe it was still "hot" because of the 20 odd second delay in the power off of some circuits?
Just a thought.:dontknow:

Lighter outlet in rear trunk is always hot, key on or off. I use for my trickle charger. That may be the fuse you've found that is hot. I'd ask Lamont to be sure. He will know for sure.

There will be power even on a switched power source after the Spyder is turned off. I think it's 15 or 20 seconds.

I found that to be the case on my wife's '08 when I installed the J&M CB system last weekend. Stays powered on for 15 or 20 seconds after turning off the ignition. I also noticed there are other electronic sounds operating during that same time. I concluded it is done purposely by BRP to provide time for controlled shutdowns for some components. Kind of like when you shut off your PC, there are lot's of things needing to be brought down before power is removed.
