Is there a wire in the engine bay fuse box that I can use only when ignition switch is on? Can anybody point me to that wire, if possible? thank you

What are you trying to power?

 

Contact Paul.

he has OEM conne tirs for the blank spots in your fuse box.

Gerry, there are many 12v ignition controlled and fused supply tappings in the engine bay but it depends on what you want to power, you need to state/know the voltage and amps to be consumed.

Try Abran's guy Paul but he'll ask you the same/similar questions no doubt so have the answers ready eh

 

Its a long shot, but i wojld like to use the auxiliary fan directly. I know its working but i would rather have it work sooner than waiting until the engine gets really hot. Also in the process, do i need a relay for that factory fan? I got an inline themostat switch to turn the fan on at 190 degrees. Thanks

Whenever I tap into factory fuse boxes for power, I never actually draw power from it, I use a relay instead. Can the fuse box handle the power? Probably, depending on the fuse, but it opens up a can of worms that may cause problems later.

What I do, is put a 3 amp add-a-fuse in the factory panel (switched or constant, depending on what I want to do), wire the add-a-fuse to a busbar, and then wire the busbar to a relay that receives its power from an aux fuse box (self installed). That way the load of the unit comes from the self-installed fuse box that has adequate wiring from the battery.

 

You need a relay, if not all that power will be running through the switch
