This sunroof fuse was mentioned in passing in another thread but I knew a lot less than so I'm hoping this will help me get a clearer picture. I don't necessarily know a lot more now but I feel like I can ask my questions in a way that helps me get an answer I can understand better.
In the photo where my finger is pointing I have an empty fuse slot. My assumption is it is fuse 28 from the diagram attached. My lid doesn't show this fuse would exist but it is in my fuse box and empty.
I have a fuse in the sunroof, slot 20 spot. It is live and receiving voltage. I do not have a sunroof.
Out of curiosity, I put a fuse in the assumed slot 28 and it receives voltage also.
When going through diagrams I don't see anything else that the sunroof fuse in my fuse box would be connected to. I also don't see what the assumed fuse 28 would be connected to elsewhere.
In regards to the sunroof fuse which has been in the box, if it's receiving voltage, does that mean something is wired to go somewhere and doesn't since I don't have the relay for it or the switch to activate the sunroof? Or is the power simply there but there wouldn't be any wiring?
For the empty slot that does receive voltage when tested with a fuse, but I took it back out, I have the same question as above. Is there any difference in the answer based on if the fuse is in it or not. I understand the function of the fuse isn't to actually supply the power. I'm just curious what the voltage is doing that is available.
I understand vehicles can be set up for features they don't have. What I don't understand is from an electrical standpoint if there are no parts or switches for the wires to go, what is happening at the fuse block where they are receiving voltage then? It was explained to me when posting about some blunt cut wires behind the dash that they were for a brake to be wired in and they posed no threat especially since they come that way from the factory so I don't worry about them. However, this is different from simply wiring in a brake controller versus hacking in a sunroof and then running the entire wire harness because nothing exists, just the power.
Obviously, if in the wiring schematics I saw these fuses were somehow supplying power or interacting in a way with other items in the vehicle, I wouldn't be as curious because they are necessary but I don't see anything in any diagrams so I'm thinking they are standalone items.
Oh and how would that affect RAP if at all?
