Wire or accessory that is hot during and after starting engine

Jul 14, 2003 4 Replies

Hi all...



I need to determine a wire or accessory that is hot/on during and after starting the engine.



Many accessories are cut out during the engine starting, but I need to find one (or a wire from one) that will remain hot during engine cranking, and then while the engine is started. This should not be hot when the key is out of the ignition.



BTW, this is for a vacuum gauge that needs to calibrate itself during engine cranking, therefore the requirement.



I have a wiring diagram, but dont know of an accessory that is on during cranking....



Any ideas?


Hi,

just wire it directly to the (+)-Terminal of your battery. But -- for safety -- don't forget a fuse in the wire!

oops - just read, that it has to be OFF when ignition is. So - maybe you find one at the radio (test with a voltmeter).

How about a year? Shouldn't be too hard to find something hot in run and crank...
