Default Unable to find switched live in under bonnet fuse box :(

I am trying to find a "switched live" in the under bonnet fuse box of my ZT-T 190+ MK2 but have been unsuccessful.


I need the switched live/ignition live to feed a DVR (dash cam) at the back of my tourer. If you have ever drove your car in The Netherlands you should understand the need for it


I have a feed running from the engine compartment to the back of the car. Earth is taken at the back of the car from the bracket that holds one of the sound system modules.


Searching this forum I found a number of threads that indicate fuse 4 as the fuse that is switched. It did look that way. When I first put my multi meter on fuse 4 it showed no voltage so I piggy bagged the fuse and connected the dash cam. After turning the key to acc or ignition the dash cam turned on. Progress I thought But after removing the key the power stayed on and the dash cam would not switch off. I waited for about 3 minutes. Again using my multi meter it seems that all fuses have power. I tried fuses 1, 2 and 3 with the same result.


I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what that is


A picture of the fuse box and the (not-connected) piggy bag fuse holder:





Which fuse should I be using?
