Wiring lights with relays. HELP
So I am trying to use a relay to wire up my rear lights on my headache rack.
I think I have everything right except for one wire. That wire is the one that is supposed to run from my switch to a thing called "IGN battery power" somewhere.
On this diagram:http://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-...nd-relays.html
What does "IGN battery power" even stand for? Any suggestions on how to hook up the wire from my switch to the "IGN" thing?
Thanks as always

Turn the key on and the power comes on. Find a fuse in the dash fuse box that is only hot with the key on and tie into that one. I normally use a blade connector and slip it between the fuse and it's contact. Check your radio fuse. don't have the diagram in front of me, that is the first one that comes to mind. Keep in mind, some folks like their lights available with the key off. If you want it that way, find a fuse that is always hot.
