Just seeing if anyone knows of one of the fuses under the dash that has a fulltime constant power? The ones i've been tapping into only work with the key in the on position.

 

I see you have a 08 lancer...I have a 06 evo. I'm assuming the ignition harness is similar. Try the thick white wire in the ignition harness on the steering column. I could be wrong since i've never been in an 08.

But anyway, if there's no white wire, get a voltmeter and try all the wires on the ignition harness. There should be a constant 12+ there.

the wiring harnesses for ignition are exactly the same! because you can use a turbo timer harness on an 08 that also fits earlier Evos, like 7, 8, and 9, i looked into this haha

but either way, use a multimeter to test it

 

I was trying to use one of those fuse-piggyback style things, to just pop out a fuse, and pop this in to get a power source for some lights.
