Hi.

I am fitting a cut off via my tracking system, its been on my to do list for a while. Now the only requirement is that it would need to be within the area of the 'Passenger fuse compartment' -

The easiest way to look at it is 'If i removed this fuse, the car would not be able to enter the 'Ready' state, thus undrivable.' - What fuse would that be in your mind?


Going through the wiring diagram, and the fuses - the only ones i can think of are F5, F7 but even then im not convinced.
Any ideas?
 
Why not just unplug said fuse(s) and see if it renders your MG4 undrivable :unsure:
aha, it did cross my mind, but i'd just hate to damage the system -

But with some tinkering - F7 is the perfect fuse, it prevents ready mode, disable shifting - and blinds your screens to even see what the issue is..

Shame its a Micro3 fuse, with the left being the shifter, the right being the instrument cluster - then the middle being the power to complete the circuit

Im thinking of getting a 2 lead micro 3 tap, without any fuses, so the left and right wire can be joined, and then i just need to make something to fit in the middle prong section of the tap to complete a circuit - add a relay and a 5a fuse to it - and we'll be on to a winner!

not too sure what you mean by 'left and right wire can be joined' - that sounds as though you'll be changing the existing fusing arrangement :unsure:
