I'm confused

Okay okay okay, I think I finally have it all figured out here. Sorry for the long post but it stumped me good.

For Clarity:
1. I was looking to find a Fuse to use so that when I use the overhead PWR switch that applies power with engine and key off, that would NOT keep the wolfbox running.
2. The method I had wired from wolfbox was this: Wolfbox (red) ACC wire tied too FC21 12v Outlet Front. Wolfbox (yellow) all time power wire tied too FC03 HVAC Module.

Testing:
1. first thing I did was move the wolfbox ACC wire to what others have suggested to no avail. I tested this on every fuse that allowed for the piggy back wiring like in my picture.
2. during my testing I left the Wolfbox Yellow all time power wire tied into FC03 fuse during my testing.

What I stumbled upon:
1, Today I was adding USB C power to the back side of the infotainment screen in the center to power with a short cord a GoPro and Tablet.
2. Ran the power wire to the Fuse panel and wanted to tie it into another fuse not with the wolfbox. I got out my pin tester (probably wrong name) and noticed something funky with the Wolfbox power connections.

What did I find:
1. When the car was off key out and the overhead PWR switch on FC21 was hot but the all time yellow wire on fuse FC03 was not after about 3mins of sitting.........
2. This led me to test starting and shutting off to verify what I just found, and sure enough after waiting FC03 died off meaning it was not a all time power or operated by the PWR with key off.

So what I did was simply swap the two Wolfbox wires ACC (red) full time power (yellow) and boom I got exactly what I was looking for, when PWR switch is on Wolfbox does not power on any longer. What I found was during my testing those three mins of having FC03 was just waiting to time out and actually not powered by the PWR overhead switch. I have no idea what that yellow wire for the wolfbox does when the PWR overhead switch is on but I do not see the wolfbox power up when using that PWR switch and no key. Meaning now I can run just my starlink and 12v outlest and USB's without having the wolfbox on or key on.

Image of what two I simply swapped around: Yellow FC03 is now on FC21 and ACC red FC21 is now on FC03.

Sounds like you found a good solution. Another workaround is a long press on the WB button to power it down.
Yup was using this before but got annoying having to remember and from time to time I would forget for a few hours or longer, I think longest I had it on was about 8hrs in general..... Once you get working sometimes your head is in another space.
 
Who has dug deep into the fuse box under the ignition key? I need your help.

My Wolfbox is currently connected to fuse FC23 using a piggyback fuse tap. When the PWR switch in the overhead switch panel is turned on, the Wolfbox powers up as well. I would like to change this so that it only receives power when the ignition key is turned on.

Which fuse should I use instead?
Merci beaucoup

I use an odb2 with usb-c. It’s perfect.

The spec for obdII requires that pin 16 be direct to battery (live +12v) and at least 4 amps current capacity. That solves the constant power feed to the Wolfbox. Where are you getting the ignition switched 12v signal from? An ignition switched +12v signal is required to enable parking mode in the Wolfbox when the car is turned off. Does your parking mode work?
