I'm already tapped into turn signals. They are dual drl/turn signals. Everything I've tried in the bay fuse box is constant and drls stays on even without key in ignition. Wiper blade fuse must be in interior, I didn't see it

Turn signal may be on without key in ignition but should turn off when you lock car. What exactly are you trying to accomplish so we can better assist

LED Lighting: XSB LED Halos Guide - DIY Installation Guides go to part 4 option 1. I even ran a long wire to the head unit fuse and the DRL still stays on without key in ignition..the only thing i can think of to do is buy something for the 12v accesory port in the center console, not sure what its called but i saw it at walmart, basically using that as the 12v source, and tuck the wire.
