Can someone please show me which wire to tap into for ignition power? Basically I want to make a power box/splitter that gets turned on by ignition. Once the ignition is on it will power the block and i can hook up all my devices to this block without draining my battery. Can anyone help? Pictures would be great!

 

black or black/yellow at ingnition harness

 

erm which is the ignition harness?

 

It is the harness below the driver side of the dash that comes from the key the wires will be heavy gauge probably 14 or 16

 

hmm not to be rude, but I dont think you should be doing electrical work. The ignition harness is the one that come off your ignition, you know, where the key goes. Also, what kind of "items" are you planning on running of the ignition, to might could blow the main fuse and give you problems. You might be better to go off the Cig lighter to get your power seeing how it is switched on and off with the ignition.

oh yeah and any electrical outlet running off the car uses your battery. aka draining it. but yeah be carefull. last thing anyone needs is a car firew , or lotrs and lots of blown fuses mixed in with lots of random electrical problems.

 

if you want to be safe about it...
use a relay.

 

Yea run it right off the battery with a relay to make it a switched source.
