Hi all
I am after a 12V wire to power a relay (in the engine bay) only when the ignition is on. Are there easy to access wires in the harnesses either under dash or in engine bay (preferred)?
Which harness and wire colour please?
Does anyone have any photos?
thanks
Rob

Piggy-back fuse holders work well especially if the current draw is only going to be low so as to not add excessive load to the wiring. EG The wiring for an existing 5A fuse might not be heavy enough to carry another 5A continuously whereas the wire for a 20A fuse will be.

Graeme is spot on... Piggy back into the engine bay fuse box.
