Ignition switched live...

[jmc330i]

Where's the best place to pick up an ignition switched live?
I need a permanent and switched live for the EWS module, but can't remember what I did on my last conversion

I'm thinking from the back of the ignition switch itself, but is there a better place?

Cheers

There's the accessories socket behind the glovebox - that's got plenty of spare feeds on it:

Cool. So there will be a permanent live and ignition switched live (live in accessory, run and start positions) at that socket?

Definitely. You can tap into the radio loom there for starters, and I used one of the lives to run the map light mirror so there are definitely spares.

Nice one. I'll get out there and check with my trusty bulb on a wire
