I bet that is why they removed the fuse. I would probably not worry about the tiny drain that a little light puts on.


I suspect someone has changed the wiring from switched live (needs the ignition on) to perm live (still charge phones with key off) so either wire it to a switched live or try and work out if the LED is on its own part of the circuit within the USB, you could just cut the feed to the usb as long as the LED is not used to drop the voltage from 12v to 5V that USB work off. It is easy to find a switched live but getting a simple tester or light bulb, one end on earth and other prod around to find a live and then when live found turn off key and see if it goes out...to be safe chuck another in line fuse in...if in any doubt.


I hope this helps?
