[mick2701]

were would i find a ignition live under the hood of a 2001 406 110
i know theres an engine fuse box would there be a spare fuse link for an ignition live that i could use a spade connection for?

No sorry idont think there is mate, (Icouid be Wrong tho!)

iwas looking for one when ihad my 406 but was unable to find anything under the- bonnet icouid get a feed off that was ignition fed,
the only place icouid find one was near the fuse box-(Interior), think it was a Thick yellow or orange wire, ("Please check with Multi-meter first")
all the other places itried Getting a Feed off played Havoc with the Bsi!,

Ignition relay? Fuel pump relay? Can't imagine something like that would be too hard to find?

Well this topic is something that i would need in the future, so let's talk about it.

But from what they say mjb, the BSI won't be screaming if you plug some stuff to that parts ?

I used a feed from the passenger fusebox. (On mine the top row are ignition fed, the bottom row, accessory position).

Found a handy grommet, behind the carpet, about 2" to the right if where the steering goes thro the bulkhead. Reach behind the carpet, pull the bung out, make a hole that's a dead tight fit round the wire, push grommet back in......

Not if you take your feed from the high current side of the relay...
