Hi Matthew I've got one of those dummy flashing LEDs & know how to wire it in so that it starts when the ignition is off.
What I was wondering was if I could connect it to the central locking wires via a relay so that when the pulse goes from the control box to lock the doors the LED would light up & then when the pulse comes through to unlock the doors it would turn the LED off.
