Does anyone know the location of the power outlet relay on the 2005 Santa
Fe? It may be the same relay that turns on the cigarette lighter also. I
don't know where it is either.
If it is similar to the Sonata, there is no relay, just fuses.
I wanted unswitched power for my cell phone in a cigarette lighter
outlet but didn't want to modify the wiring.
I used two fuse taps, normally used to add a circuit. Spliced their
pigtails. I removed an unused unswitched fuse and the power outlet fuse.
Used the two fuse taps (with the original outlet fuse) to bridge the
circuit.
I checked the wiring diagrams
I checked actually voltages
This is 100% reversible, just remove the bridge and insert the original
fuses! No wiring is touched.
