Can never remember which one is switched-live, and which one is permanent. Have you got access to a multi-meter?

The plug going into rear of your stereo will most likely have a yellow wire, and also a brown one. One is a permanent feed, for radio memory/clock etc., the other switched from ignition.

(I'd guess at yellow, but check first with a meter)

The easiest way to find out is to put the black probe of a mutli-meter to earth and the red against a pin of either of these wires (set to 20v DC). You may even find something more convenient under the pass. dash (courtesy lights?) if you have a root around.

Most red wires tend to be permanent live also.

i think white is perm live, you can get this from behind the drivers side lower panel

disconect the Battery.....pull apart the big multi pin connector

reconect the Battery......prick the female pins

DO NOT TEST THE YELLOW....ITS THE AIRBAG

once you find perm live...voila

Supracharged is right.

behind the plastic kick panel on the drivers side fusebox. You'll see towards the bulkhead end, a white plug with a thick WHITE wire going into it. Do test it first, but it's perm.12volts on mine........
