Round at my mechanic friend the other day, saw the piggy back fuses he uses ... plugs in like a fuse but one side is a pin and other side has pin and wire but they are isolated. There are then two spaces to fit fuses, one between the 2 pins and other between wire and pin , so both existing and new circuits are independently fused and neither blowing requires a new piggy back thingy to be bought..

Hi
Thks, assume to put a fuse in the top fuse slot , then use a DMM to see which side of the F19 fuse is live when the ign is turned on so I can put the piggy back fuse the right way round
Also just seen fuse F20 is for the sunroof, also haven’t got one
found the thread of how to connect the wires in the footwell , for the audio aux , save me trying to mess around with the connector on the back of the radio seeing its already been cut into

Just found the footwell wires
Also looked on the radio connector , think it will be easier to go from there straight into the upper glove where my aux socket is
Looks like radio connector pins are 7-8-12 or 6-7-8 , need to have another search

Or de pin 10-11-12 in the passenger footwell and simply connect to the wires leaving the radio connector alone ??
As won’t ever install an aux socket in the middle seat row

Thks Pete
Apologises being a pain as per usual , what number pins please, is it pins 7-8-12 , thks
So as u say just cut the black lead with the 3 wires ,then reconnect it onto the back of the radio , inc leaving the other side of the cut wire alone as indeed that will be dead
removed the black insulating tape, no heat shrink at all , will sort all that out
Had a quick look to see if there were indeed any wires in the middle row rear glovebox and found 3 x connectors
