I need to tap into a +12 ignition circuit on my 97 dakota. I have no idea where to start to look. I would rather just go to the battery put instructions tell me it must be wired through the ignition circuit. Any help guys?

Well it depends on what you are wireing.
The size wire I would recomend is NO BIGGER than 8 Gauge wire when wireing ANYTHING to the Fuse Box.
Take for instance I wired my Radar Detector in through the fuse box.
First you need a Volt-Ohm Meter and a Butt-End Connector Kit to do the job. You can find any of this stuff at the local Auto Parts Store.
Look at your fuse box and find a place that doesn't have a fuse in it.
Then you need to find out which one has 12volts only with the ignition turned ON using the Volt-Ohm meter.
Once you do that run your wires and use a Butt-End Connector that WILL FIT in the fuse slot that is hot Only when the ignition in ON............
And that's it. My Radar Detector only comes on when I turn on the Ignition.
I hope I helped yuh out

The fuse box is a good idea but i forgot to add that the 12v input must be connected to a +12v at all times. Im puting a headlight flasher on and i need the +12v at all times for my headlights to work right. The fuse box idea would work but then my head lights would only work when i have my truck on.

In that case you can still use the Fuse Box and just find a empty fuse like I said and look for one that doesn't turn off when you turn off the ignition.
Just make sure that your not going to draw any amps through you wig-wags or what ever you got when you leave it on because it will drain your battery even with your ignition OFF.
cool?
