12v constant power - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BIO-HAZARD · 06-08-2015, 07:21 PM

Looking for a constant 12v power source in the center console . I'm pretty sure I could use the power port in the tray or in the center box . The one in arm rest box would be great if it could be used . Plus is there a ground bolt back there?

I want power for LED lighting for foot well lights . But only want to use them for night time car shows . I have a remote control with on & off .

Plus I have a switch to kill power to the lights .

I do not want to use the the dimmer switch for them to go on & off by the doors .

Any help I would be thankful .

I believe center console, and power port go out, when ignition is turned off. You may want to get constant 12v from fuse box , and add independent fuse for LED RGB lights.

I used the trunk release fuse for my dash cam. Try that.

Trunk release is the best location for the add a fuse.
