Ignition live in Puma engine bay
Apart from running a feed off the alternator rear has anyone found an 'easily accessible' ignition live point/wire I can tap into.

There is one under the drivers seat. There is a single fuse with a brown and orange wire one side and a brown on the other. I cant up load pictures at the moment cause I have exceeded my allocated space Shocked Big Cry Big Cry

Just a set of DRL/Side lights that need an ignition live wire connected to the DRL relay. I assume I could go through the bulkhead for the ignition switch , radio or cigar lighter but I'm loathed to try and put a wire through the bulkhead as I've no leaks ( so far )... Smile

Any ideas much appreciated Thumbs Up

I'll tell you a good spot that you could get it throug and that is where the heater re-circulation control cable goes. Accessable from behind offside front speaker from inside and just behind the blower / fan actuator arm in the top right of the engine bay Thumbs Up
