I run a couple of gadgets from mine but not at the same time.

So I would just recommend double checking that that is a circuit that only goes on when the key is turned on or else you have the potential of accidentally leaving your LEDs on you can end up draining your battery really fast....
Leading evidence: 'Run couple of gadgets' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Recommend double' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I wil be running LED illumination lights in the cabin.

Suggestion
Use the switched phone connector in the console to drive a relay; run a new positive line from the battery terminal to the location of your new device.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looking at the Porsche wiring diagrams, I see 7.5A and 15A but no 10A anywhere.
I need to find a 10A power source that is hot in run or accessory. I assume I'll just have to add a 10 A fuse somewhere.
Suggestions?
Why not use the phone prep plug in the center console? It has brown ground, yellow phone interrupt, and the other are switched and unstitched 12v. Fuse E6 is 10A I think.
pull (literally yank it out) one of your cubbies or the CD/tape storage out and search for the 4 position plug floating around back there.
maybe with a relay?
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...always-on.html
Just be sure to carry a spare. That fuse is infamous for blowing resulting in “Help, I can’t refuel my car”. It also controls the fuel tank vent valve. So don’t load it up when you are refueling. I run a couple of gadgets from mine but not at the same time.
Sure it can. I have never had mine blow, but?? I would/am using mine with a few things hooked to it, (BTW there is a Becker mating plug with a long harness.) If mine starts blowing I will go to a relay. I have used that plug with both of my 996 and never blew that fuse. Other folks have nothing hooked to it and have problems with the vent valve fuse. YMMV
I wil be running LED illumination lights in the cabin. 6 - 8 lights. I think it should be just fine.
As for my heat - still sucks. I am now convinced that it is the foam and the holes on the blend door are open. I have changed the heater core out myself, had the dealer do the thermostat, which was crusted up, and will do the blend door hopefully next week.
Didn't read the whole thread carefully - sorry if this is a dupe.
Use the switched phone connector in the console to drive a relay; run a new positive line from the battery terminal to the location of your new device. Be sure to add an inline fuse as close to the battery as possible to safeguard against any short circuit.
Hi we are a new vendor on Renn list and we do lithium batteries.... So I just wanted to add some input being that whenever you do accessories like these sometimes you might be creating another level of parasitic draw on your system. So I would just recommend double checking that that is a circuit that only goes on when the key is turned on or else you have the potential of accidentally leaving your LEDs on you can end up draining your battery really fast.... And being there are so many threads on Rennlist about persons cars having high parasitic draw's that drain their batteries really quickly you might want to look out for that.
I'm actually very keyed into the subject because we make lithium ion starter batteries for Porsches so if you have these types of parasitic drain's that are most often caused by aftermarket accessories it can drain the batteries in the cars really quickly.
