I recently acquired a 2014 C4 Seduction (hatch). I'm trying to locate a clean 12v power supply that I can tap into in the boot. I tried the reverse lamp and the BSI complains after a few minutes with the car running. I found an unused harness below where higher trim models have a 12v accessory socket but none of the 6 pins seem to be live. Any insights or recommendations would be appreciated.

I recommend joining FrenchCarForum and asking on there
It's a lot more active than this forum and has Citroen techs on there too.

Thank you for the replies. I ended up finding another wiring harness that I handy noticed before. It was tucked down behind the trim in the boot. It appears to have 18 slots with 10 containing conductors. One of the wires is live when the ignition is on and there is also a ground wire. I tapped into them and the BSI hasn't complained yet.
