Fuse slot #5 question.

Prodigy. · 09-02-2013, 01:22 AM

Have hard wired my V1 radar detector using a very helpful DIY thread on here however i have a question.

According to the thread people are using slot 8 or slot 5 in the fuse box. Most have used slot 5 as it's empty & not allocated to anything on their Fuse description booklet.
Now my slot 5 is also currently empty however according to my fuse description booklet it is assigned to the steering wheel diagram.

Anyone know what the pic means and what slot 5 is actually for? am i still ok to use that slot seeing there is currently no fuse in it?

Thanks

Not sure why yours No.5 had no fuse in it.

Sorry, I couldn't tell you what exactly it's for but I know mine has the fuse in it. I used it for switched 12+ on my road angel and blackvue cam.

I suspect the steering wheel icon is for EPS(electronic power steering). 135i's have good ol' hydraulic steering, hence no fuse. The diesel model 1ers have EPS.

Sorry to thread jack a bit - but which fuses should be constant +12v if anyone knows?
