Is there a fuse box in the trunk or battery compartment anywhere that gives access to the 12V battery? Anybody have a diagram for it?

 

there is the panel you can remove on the right side of the trunk to get to the 12V. but the main fuse box is in under the hood and that also has leads that connect to the 12V

 

So, if you wanted access to 12V in the trunk, what's the best approach?

 

just feed directly off of the battery? what do you need the 12V for? that will probably help me to answer the question

 

Actually, I'm thinking about setting up a solar panel recharging system that would keep the 12V battery topped off. A guy over in Cleanmpg did it with a Honda Civic Hybrid, and he is seeing significant fuel efficiency improvement, especially in the winter.

I'll have a 15W panel on my back deck, with a controller mounted in the trunk that drives the 12V battery directly. Wish me luck!

Thanks,
Eph

 

good luck, I think you can just go directly into the battery then
