Shuting Off Engine but Keep Power in Cabin

[meder2487]

Does anyone know of a way to keep power inside the cabin once the engine is shut off? I have some headrest monitors wired to the fuse box, but once the ignition is shut off, power is cut to those items. I can simply press the start button to gain power, but this causes the screens to shut off before hand. I just want to see if there is a workaround to be able to shut off the engine but still remain power inside the cabin, much like the "On" option does without starting the engine.
Any help is appreciated.

You may want to post the year, make, model and trim line in case anyone has year-specific information.

I assume you wired that to an 12V outlet? Yes, you can change the power point time out with Forscan.

I actually have a fuse tap on Fuse 37 right now. Maybe rewiring directly to an outlet would be better.

IF you're using a fuse tap, F37 from what I can see in the BCM wiring diagram is the heated steering wheel module. That will shut off immediately and not on timer. If using the fuse tap, try other spots as they may be time delayed. The positions I listed are possibilities.

Related to the stereo, these should be time delayed (DSP, Radio)
Vacant spots may or may not. If they're wired but not powering anything they would be ideal.
Not used locations may not have any wiring at all and be a dead blank spot.

F4 - DSP (5A)
F5 - DSP (20A)
F6 - Vacant (10A)
F7 - Vacant (10A)
F8 - Not used
F9 - Rear Audio Control Module
F16 - Not used
F25 - DSP (30A)
F31 - Vacant (15A)
F33 - Radio (20A)
F35 - Vacant (5A)

The power points are fused at the Battery Junction Box (BJB) that is under the hood (F6).

I have used these several times and are compatible with Ford and are clean, safe, and easy. You can directly tap a 12v outlet to expand on your accessories.

Thank you for the insight. I will try the radio fuse and see what happens as that will be the easiest path. I will report back.

Just use a 12v plug. Much easier.
