your pithy ruminations on <accessory electrical circuit> were:
=> i would like to establish an accessory circuit wired such that it draws
=> power through lg wire from battery to relay to cut out when ignition off so
=> no power draw w/o key. i need to decide where to put this relay, but i'm a
=> little blown away by wiring diagram. i'm sure i'll figure it all out by the
It's very, very simple. Find something that's only on when the ignition is on.
I like to use the running lights (they aren't "critical" like the EFI CPU, the
ABS, etc.). Use a fuse tap to get the switched power to the relay. Wire one
side of the relay directly to the battery and the other to the thing you want
to power (with an in-line fuse). Wire the ground for the thing you want to
power directly to the battery.
=> time i finish all my graduate coursework, but in the meantime i wonder if
=> any of the listers who've wired up extra stuff have found a good line to
=> splice into that would provide power to key on a relay, ideally just while
=> the engine is running. i'd like one not vulnerable to bulbs out etc. but i
=> guess a big part of it is finding a wire i can get to, (my harness has been

=> right thinking that the line out to flip the relay is _very_ low power draw
=> in itself, so very little extra current demand etc for whatever circuit it
=> gets attached to to carry it? big THANKS. -- jim .
Absolutely...the draw from the relay itself is negligible.
