The lighter socket is not ignition switched, it is switched in the "AUX" position (one click before ignition position).

There's no ignition switch supply on the Td5 underseat fuse box, they are all permanent.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

I've got one and it works well, but couldn't find it on the website either.
I spoke (telephone!) with Tim who informed me about it. He refers to it as a IGNSNS module... Instagram: l90andy

Ignition live module
I have had another look on their website- it is mentioned in their heated seat wiring looms but they call it an ignition feed box.
However it doesn't appear to be available as a stand alone item.
I will call them this morning & suggest that they a.) describe it more clearly & b.) sell it a stand alone item.
This would appear to be a very useful piece of kit which is far safe/ better than taking individual feeds from around the vehicle PROVIDING fused links are used at all times.
If I have any success I will re post here & under a separate post for others to see.
Cheers
Guy

I've got one that I got from Mobile Centre, but haven't fitted and don't plan to use. I'll try to dig it out and take a photo.

Ignition Live module
http://www.mobilecentre.co.uk/index.php?ma...cts_id=536

I have spoken with Mobile Centre & made the suggestion that they also show this as "An ignition live Sensing Module" - that way we might find it in the future.
I think they are a very useful bit of kit.

Cheers

Does that module take a perm feed and sense the ignition on to create an ignition feed? Mike

Yep, that's exactly it. I've got one to power my DRL's. They come on a few seconds after starting once the alternator has kicked in. Instagram: l90andy

I guess you mean the maximum current? That's listed as 20A per channel and it's got two channels.

That unit looks just like a TEC3M which is a fairly standard and dull unit. Some people rate it as 30A total.
