I need to find a ignition feed for a little pimp I'm hoping to do but not being that good with electrics I was hoping for help as to where I would find such a feed

Could I take a feed from the fusebox

Thanks in advance

top of fuse 8 is an ignition switched feed thats what I used to do my radio

If you take the TOP of the fuse then that new circuit will be fused at 40 Amps, might be better to take the lower contact of the fuse that's then fused at 10 Amps

Yes I took the top as the bottom was fed by the lb and put an inline fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse

Hi me again, I have a Willinton kit fitted so I'm looking for a ignition feed that only becomes live on turning the key so any help would be just great

Did you try what the guys said above? if you've got the willinton kit fitted, the top connection of the fuse holder (in the fuse box by the drivers right knee) is still able to supply as it was before as the willinton is suppplying the bottom fuse connection to the relevant circuit, so if you connect into the top connection with a small or modified connector & a correctly rated fuse, there's your ignition switched power supply

Thanks Kirsty, so am I right if I use the top of that fuse I need say a 10amp in line fuse to make the circuit safe

depends what rating the wire is you're using (fuse needs to be lower than the wire rating so it melts before the wire) & what protection the item you're powering needs.

I've managed to get a digital clock like in the fact sheet, it's all wired in apart from this feed. The cable is 2-3 mm so I'm guessing a 5 - 10 amp inline fuse

can't see a clock using much so I would go for a 5

From memory, I just wired my roof mounted digital clock into the supply for the interior lights & fitted an extra switch in the middle of the interior lights to be able to switch the clock display off if I need to, didn't want it on an ignition switch as I use this as my clock when camping.

All sorted

, used top of no. 8 fuse with a 5amp inline fuse

Thank you once again as without your help I wouldn't know the time
