What was the trick ??.... swap to "switched live" on Xantia ciggie socket

[Stickyfinger]

I remember their was one (fuse swap ?) but cannot remember........

[myglaren]

Is there the shunt fuse on the Xantia, like in the C5, where when the car is at the dealers, most things are disabled and when the car is sold, the shunt is moved to the 'customer' position permitting all functions?

[Stickyfinger]

All things work on the car....I am wanting to switch the ciggie socket to "switched live" rather than constant live as it is now (for dash cam use).....I have done it in my Activa (also effects the radio) but for the life of me I cannot remember.

[myglaren]

Not anything that I have dabbled with but they have all been switched live apart from the ones in the boot of the C5 estate.

[Stickyfinger]

Jim thinks it is the shunt that does it....will try tomorrow.

Had it up to 85mph today.
4/5 bulbs out on the dash, one main beam playing up..
Heater cables all working correctly....pipes to the heater are hot....bought some Wynnes RAD_Flush.......will see how that goes.

If i remember right you move this fuse across so it goes into the empty terminal next to it.
