| Post subject: | Best place to pull ignition power? |
I'm installing something that needs power only when ignition on. Can anyone make a recomendation on what/where I could tap into fairly easy? I pulled the fuse box apart today under the hood and couldn't find anything readily available to tap. I also couldn't find a good spot in the firewall to pass some wires through. Any suggestions before I start drilling and cutting holes? The single harness gromett was REALLY tight and I didn't want to cut into it. Thanks.. |

It depends on the power demand. It'd help if we knew...but if it needs a significant amount of amperage, I'd run the radio ign-hot lead into a relay and run a heavier gage of wire from the battery. |

i would run a wire from the battery a put a relay to cut the powerwhen the ignition is not on. this way you can have all the power you need without blowing any fuses from the car |

There are plastic blanking grommets in the bulkhead one either side,right in corner of firewall near the inner wing that you can pop out and fit a rubber grommet to pass wires from engine bay to cab. |
