I am putting a alarm and a cb in my car and i was wondering which wire should i tap into for accessory power source( the one that comes on when you turn the ignition on).

Is their one going to the cigarette lighter?, if their is what color is it?

 

also need the color for the ground wire for the cigarette lighter. someone hit me up im trying to get this finished tommorow.

 

If your Cig lighter shut off when you turn your key off then you could use it.
Don't know the color, but I pretty sure the power wire is the wire that connect to the middle part of the cig lighter...

 

Here you go...

The best way to identify which is which is to test each individually...

For my car ('95 EX Coupe)

A = constant 12v
B = ?
C = ?
D = switched 12v, comes on with lights
E = 12v ignition, comes on with ignition



I hope this helps!

 

my cigarette lighter gets hot if i push it in even with my car off and keys out... i wired my neons (puts on flame suit) into the leads for my radio.

 

I forgot all about the optional connection points where the fuses are, i put in one of those headlight buzzers in about 2 years ago and hooked it up there. thanks man.

 

If you want a power source when the ignition is flipped on and doesnt turn off when you start the car tap into the Black/yellow stripe wire in the ignition switch harness.

 

make sure you use a nice power distribution block, and use the proper fuses.
