12v Constant
12v Constant
I've been trying to hook up a new radio to my car and I need a source of constant 12v. Any ideas on where I could pull it from besides the original one? I don't know where the original one that came out of the center console is so I'm trying to pull it from somewhere else. Thanks!

Just take it directly from the fuse box backside where alle the wires come from, from the radio fuse. The wire to the radio after the fuse should be yellow.

Actually, since pattydatwo said "12v Constant" , the wire will be an orange wire as per this handy wiring diagram ........(It says 1992 but the basic radio wire colors were standardized as orange = constant 12v and yellow = key switched 12v)

Oh my, I am very sorry... you are totally right. Damn, next time I should read before I write something. I was working on the radio wiring yesterday and had an issue with the yellow wire on the fuse box... must have been stuck in my brain somehow.
