Pull the fuse out..
Then temporarily plug in a switch with inline fuse, in place of the fuse.
Normal spade terminals should fit in there..

That way you can turn it back on when you have the car started and have the phone, but know the "issue" will not drain your battery until you can fix it properly....
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
