And me. And any other person who needed to change a fuggin fuse in this model.

You would need a circuit that stays live even after the typical shutdown period such as the central locking circuit. Refer lto your handbook for fuse number because it can depend on what spec the car is and what region the car was sold in.

Yes a lot of makes fuse layouts differ depending on spec and the region the car was made for. The fuse you are using at the moment is on a timer so will go dead after a few minutes if the car is not started. If you want the camera to go on/off only with the key then try the heater blower fuse but make sure to test the circuit first with a meter or test probe.

With the aid of a test probe or multi meter check either of the five amp fuses on the bottom row of the fuse box as these can be ignition switched on UK models (other regions may vary).

@@PJsprojects Thanks, I will give it a go.

The courtesy lamp on most cars runs on a constant live circuit and so does not go off when the ignition is switched off. Maybe try the fuse for a system that does not work when the ignition is off such as the heater.

Thanks - I am sure that on the 207 it does go off (after a delay that is) - as does the power to the Cigarette lighter socket (again with a delay). In fact I prefer my 1997 Ford Escort in that regard...whose Cigarette Lighter power always stays on! As for the Courtesy light on the 207...the only time it comes on without ignition is when we use the remote key to unlock its doors...however yesterday we were sitting in the car (ignition off) - and I turned one of the reading lamps on (same Fuse as the courtesy one) - and after a short while it went off. I think you are right about "most" - but the 207 seems to be one of the exceptions. P.S. The fuse box is a NIGHTMARE to get to - I chortled when you were in agreement about French cars :-)

@@PJsprojects Is this (ignition-off = non-working) also what I want to do to use the Dash cam's "Parking mode" feature? Or if I want to use that should I hard-wire it to a constantly live? That is confusing me...

Hello. I have a Peugeot 207. I put the fuse on F9 but it's not charging it at all. Do you have any idea why this could be and which fuse would be best for this??? Please let me know. Thank You

Try the one for either heater blower/AC or another system that only works when the ignition is on.

Angela, did you connect the black earth terminal to a bolt that is connected to the BODY? I made the mistake of thinking the two metal screws inside the glove box were ok to earth to, but they are not as they connect to the plastic of the glove box. Also use F7 - but don't refer to online guides to inform you of the location of "F7"...they are wrong. Use your eyes on your 207 to see the fuse location etched "F7". It is 5 amp and ignition switched, and controls the reading lights / vanity lights.

Yes the black earth cable needs to connect to the body,just make sure it touched metal and not paint.

8mm ring terminal was used.

PJs projects thank u so much
