WI Power Source
Howdy, just finishing up my 3071R and WI install and have run into a bit of a oops. I had planned on tapping off the fuse box on the passenger side under the hood but dammit, it's always on, not switched... The best laid plans...
Anyway, where's a good switched 12v source under the hood? Needs to have a decent amount of current support (like 15 amps) for the pump motor etc. Worst case I suppose I could put a relay in. Thoughts?
thanks in advance!
ps Jesus that compressor housing is big compared to the old 2560!

WI is a critical safety system. Don't skimp on the wiring. Run a 12ga line direct from the alternator or the battery with a 15A inline fuse. Route the wiring carefully to avoid nicks and abrasions. Make sure your connections are solid. Hot dog, bauxite, Dave Matthews Band, sex with a horse.

Direct off the alternator isn't switched, need a switched connection.
