im digging through the service manual for a 12v switched source on a integra that does not lose power during engine start up. Is there a quick tap on the fuse box i can use? The ig and acc lose power so those are a no go.
thanks

 

found one ... Delete post thanks

 

Which wire did you find that works?

 

Accessory and ignition 2 will lose power during cranking. Ignition 1, however, will stay powered.

 

Problem is its not switched. its a constant even with the keys out the car. If you want a source that is off and switched with the keys in the ignition you need to tap into something like tail light i believe, ill have to check my notes. I tested basically every single fuse location under the dash and only one worked. the issue is its IG2 so if you turn off the car it goes back to IG1 and you lose power.

 

When it loses power when you turn the car off, doesn't it mean it's switched? :confused:

 

If you have a constant voltage on that signal its not really switched. Now ill have to double check but im 99% sure i checked fuse #24 and #25 which is the main PGM-FI relay and the SRS.

Ill double check this again but if i recall there was a constant voltage even with the key out in those two fuse positions. I'll put it on my to do list for this weekend and get back to you guys on this.
