Morning chaps!

Looking to finish off my cruise control install on my 110 using D2 switches.

Though I need a switched live from behind the gauge cluster, any suggestions?

Rather avoid having to run more cable into the central dash/LR fuse box if possible.

Thanks.

Is the horn ignition live? I’m not sure it is on my 200tdi, but I’m not in it to check. @mystery will know the colour for ignition switched live.

Horns constant.

Possible off the barrel just got to work out which one!

Yeah to feed CC afaik only needs a 5 amp fuse so should be fine running a 12v feed directly.

On a disco 2 the cruise control is supplied via a 20amp fuse 30, fuse 30 is supplied with 12v via white wire from the ignition switch when in position 2.
Fuse also looks after the supply for electric mirrors on a D2.

If it's an ignition switched live you're after, I've used piggy back spade terminals on the relevant terminal on the back of the ignition barrel. I needed an ignition switched live for the rev counter, the tracker, the dashcam etc. That way it can be returned to standard fairly easily and I've not had to cut any wires in the standard dash loom. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/2632351632...MI_onqqZyj7AIVA-h3Ch2pDgfFEAQYAiABEgIXnvD_BwE
Obviously, for anything with a high current draw, you'll want to just use it to activate a relay and have a heavy duty live from somewhere else!
