I recently just installed a new fuse box today and I when I went to turn on the AC, it only goes on when the headlights are on. Itโ€™s kinda funny really. Haha. It worked perfect before. Iโ€™m pretty sure I installed everything how it was before but I canโ€™t remember. I read through a couple other posts about the ac wire going into G1 or G3 terminal on the fuse box. Would it matter it the AC wire was plugged in to G4 or any other G connection? Please let me know if you have suggestions. Thanks!

You might want to brace for incoming.

Yes, electricity in general likes to be plugged into the correct connector

Very Happy

Fixed! The wire goes into G3 on the fuse box. If you plug it into G5 on the fuse box you will have ac with the lights on only!
