I added fog lights to my stripper version ‘08 Ford Focus using a generic wiring harness off Amazon. Hot is wired into the battery and because the ground cable is comically short I tied that into one of the grounds that’s on the driver’s side fender.
On the inside, I have the ground attached to the grounding location inside the drivers’s side lock panel. For the hot wire inside the cabin, I used one of the Bussman add a fuses. The fog lights power on which is fine and dandy.
However, I can’t seem to find a fuse slot in the fuse box that’s underneath the dash. I’ve tried about 8 different slots and they all seem to power the fog lights without ignition on.
What I’m trying to find is a circuit in the under dash fuse panel that will only be powered with key on.
Fuse list is here for reference: Focus fuses
Anyone here have recommendations on how to proceed? I’ve tried the subwoofer, heated seats, satellite radio, instrument panel backlighting, and ABS slots - no difference. The newly added fog light switch is constantly powered on (can click it on/off to get the lights on) and doesn’t lose power when the BCM cuts power to the dome lights after 10 mins of inactivity.
