Features
The Toyota Prius has
two 12 Volt power outlets, one inside the console and one in the dash.
When the car is turned off both of these outlets are inactive and cannot
be used as a constant source of power. This module will allow the
front power outlet to be available for use at all times with no extra
power drain. None of the other systems are affected in any way. With the
front outlet continuously active, any accessory can be utilized. The
front and console power outlet fuses will remain intact and continue to
protect their respective outlets. Also small solar panel can be easily
attached to maintain the 12 Volt battery or for use in jumping the car
should the 12 Volt battery become discharged.
A simple kit has been created for the jumper and includes the wire taps and jumper with attached connectors. It will take approximately 15 minutes to install and requires only a pair of needle nose pliers and a screwdriver.
This addition is only for the front outlet and not for the console outlet. Creating a constant powered source for the console outlet requires wires to be cut and not a simple jumper.
Above is a diagram of the rear of the fuse panel and a note describing the location and color of the wire to place a tap on when adding a constant power feature to the front power outlet. It also describes the color of the wire on the rear of the front power outlet where the jumper will be attached
