Factory Mobile Phone Fuse

[Chris Yewdall]

OK, did the search but I'm not looking to remove the phone, so I wasn't able to get the answer that way.

My 91 has a factory/dealer installed NSX handset. The battery has been going flat recently and I figured this morning that the handset is powered on, even when the ignition is switched off. I still have the original phone manuals however pressing the PWR button does's shut it down. The green 'in use' light and red 'no signal' are illuminated on the handset display and there is no data displayed on the handset LCD.

Anyone know which fuse I can pull that will cripple this puppy?

Thanks

Chris

It does not have its own fuse it uses the interior light fuse #34 which is on all the time and the cigarette lighter #15 which should be switched and tells the phone to be on or not.

Unplug the control unit in the left front of the trunk.

hands-free wasn't an issue in 1991....

that phone is such a fossil, & really dates the car.
remove it & lose 5lbs from your life..

Thanks for the tips. When I finally found the under hood fuse that deactivated the phone, I found that the phone reactivated when I plugged the fuse back in!

In the end, I disconnected the multiway connector from the controller mounted in the trunk and it started behaving properly.

I had to do some work on the CD Changer over the weekend, so I removed the phone control box from the trunk. Still have the handset and the controller in the glove box/center console, but no more controller box in the trunk. Haven't seen any wierd electrical results as a result of disconnecting it either.
