Finding ingition switch power point in Mk 8 cab

[edistone]

I have a Mk8 Chassis Cab H1L4 and am fitting a wireless rear parking sensor unit. I am looking for an ignition switch controlled power point in the cab to power the display unit. There are plenty of spare fuse points but these are all unswitched.

I am also find power sources hard to find. I have a brand new custom and most the fuse slots are empty but have not electrical connectors and the fuse taps I bought dont seem to fit the ford fuse box

I need an always on and ignition on power feed, so if any one know of the easy way to tap into these please let me know.

Many thanks

I found one under the passenger seat... I think the grey connector was for heated seats but not fitted in mine...(not sure though). I used it to power a rear view camera...

Fuse board beside steering column F21 is ignition switched for extras.

Add a pigyback fuse like below and all will be good.

I cant see any refferance to F21. My piggy back fuses adaptor doesnt seem to fit in my fuse box.

I think Ford have change the fuse box as I have hardly any micro fuses with connectors in the spaces and not many active micro fuses, plus the piggy back fuses dont fit

Thanks cornishpasty for the info
