Fuse Box cover for hardwire kit ? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Looks like everything in the fuse box under the bonnet is powered all the time.

If you're going to be doing electrical stuff on the car, an electrical meter is invaluable. Even a cheap battery powered one with an analog display or the free ones from Harbor Freight are fine for determining if there's power or not. That helps with chasing down electrical shorts and making sure your ground wires are actually grounded.

Thanks for the info.
Free electrical meter from Harbor Freight ?

When there is a wire, which is suppose to connect to any metal in the car, I assume that metal can be around the fuse box as well ?
