Hey all. I've burned through Google looking for an answer, I can't find it.
I added LEDs to the footwells and they're currently on ACC power with an add-a-circuit on interior space #45. I don't really like this because they're on whenever the car is on, and because they don't turn on when the door opens. Optimal was always going to be tying them to dash lights or headlights, but them being on all the time is fine as long as I can get them working with the doors too.
I was hoping when I got them that I could just "add a circuit" to an interior light fuse, but the 18+ Accord seems to work mainly with module devices, and there aren't really too many "singular" fuses, especially in the interior fuse box. If I want them to trip with the doors, I know I need to relay it to something that comes on with the doors and also to a constant.
I pulled down the dome light to see the wire colors, and it's red/white. Too generic to find them at the other end by the fuse box, and I don't want to fish a wire up the A pillar just for footwell lights.
What I need to know is:
Does someone know where the dome light negative is at the fuse box?
Is there another easier "door trigger" source to get to?
Or is there a fuse slot I can move to that comes on with the headlights (since the headlights always come on when you unlock or open door), and I can skip relaying entirely?
I was thinking of using "Back Up" under the hood, but it seems too many systems run through that fuse and I'm not confident it'll run how I think if I jump on it.
