There is a small wire for the switch power that the instructions say to attach to a "power source." I think this is just for the light on the switch? Where can I pick up a wire?

you should used a 12V constant. I would run a wire. I would not tap into something else - that is me though.

Sorry, do you mean run a wire straight from the battery? The wire supplied with the wire loom is log enough for that.

Your switch has three wires, yes?

If you live in Vermont then 12v constant is the way to go.

For those of us in the desert, switched 12v is a viable alternative. This should give you the info you need. It's an easy wire run. http://www.*******club.com/tech/12v.html

I wired all my switches to 12v switched, which keeps me from leaving something on when it shouldn't be left on.

Thanks guys, I knew someone out there was knowledgable in this area.

Just to be clear ...

You're looking for power to the switch. The switch then actuates a relay. Right? If so, the SEO ACCY circuit is perfect. If you don't have a relay (why wouldn't you?) then you'll want to find a different circuit.

A good place to draw power for relays is direct from the battery. Go straight to the + post or pop the top off the engine bay fuse box (driver's side, just aft of the battery) and you'll see a post where the battery power comes in. That post is good, too. It's where I got 12v for relays.

I guess I didn't understand the question, or assumed the wrong idea!

Nice link BTW Rod! Welcome to the 1000+ club too!
