Today I tested electrically the right side footwell auxiliary potential power point, and indeed: 12V, with PWR on and INT2 on on the "aviation" roof switch panel.

Some pictures:

Then I removed the tape around the wire, did cut the top of the transparent plastic protection hose of the wire, inserted some surgery needles in the top of the wire to have a metal contact (electrical contact), and connected a multimeter to the needles, with the negative to the black wire and the positive to the yellow/purple wire.
Only when switching on the INT2 roof button, together with the PWR on button, did I get 12V power on the wire!

The measurement of my multimeter was almost the same as the measurement of the voltage f the main battery of the car:

I then removed the fuse FI30 in the fuse box under the left passenger seat, and indeed, no power anymore on that auxiliary power point.

Not sure yet what I will do with it, perhaps a Deutsch connector, or perhaps an auxiliary USB-A + USB-C power point.

Well done Jean, ace detective work 👍

Fantastic work Jean. This could be a handy power source for a driver heads-up display

I posted elsewhere, but I have purchased this, and my son will measure up and 3D print a surround that will fit into the space under the centre console in front of the gear selector. I will then bring power up from one of these wires to power it. I will also replace the on off switch with the pass through for my UHF radio hand control

@Jean Mercier ~ excellent. Don't suppose you took any photos or could give any description of taking the panels off? Tips to avoid breaking any fragile clips etc...

So a supplementary question if INT2 does the right hand footwell via fuse FI30, does INT1 do the left hand footwell via fuse FI29?

And then what about the spare under seat/ fusebox outlets?

So I’ve just checked out the spare wires in the battery compartment of my 2seat utility. Permanently live with all switches off. I suspect fed from F113 spare air compressor/dust gun but not sure has to get those 40A fuses out
Note voltage is high as I’m trickle charging with solar

+1 for how to take the interior trim panels off.

OK, let's go.
First thing, remember that I have for sure a wrong wiring: INT1 and fuse [EDITED] FI28 are connected to the exterior DTP roof connector right side front!

Taking it off (with small damage, I mean one or two plastic pins slightly bent):
  • first remove the "footwell step", or how is this called ("Trim Panel"), pull it straight up.

  • Second, remove the floor mat, but first remove the plastic screw (in my case under the fire extinguisher):

  • Third remove the screw of the plastic wall cover at the right side. Don't forget my car is Left Hand Driving (but for Right Hand Driving people, everything is at the other side of the car!), This picture was taken afterwards, without dismounting the floor mat.

  • Fourth, put your left hand (again, don't forget I have a LHD car) as high as possible with fingers behind the piece and tear it of as straight as possible. And here you are ...
  • Fifth the "pillar piece" looks like this, and don't ask me questions about that hole I made ... you will understand without words, but look at the clipping parts!

  • I hope I forgot nothing ;) :devilish:

Fantastic explanation and photos Jean. Much appreciated once again. :)

Champion thank you, have to wonder what the yellow wire is.. signal wire of some sort?
No idea on the yellow wire but a 40A supply sure is useful.
