Hi, I am wanting to fit some accessories to my vehicle ( 2005 Diesel R51 ) in the engine bay which needs to be energised by the ignition on only, can any one help to tap into an easily accessible point to which I can draw off, which needs to be 30amps.

 

Looking forward to any suggestions.

30A is a lot to ask of factory wiring. Unless your model has something special I don't know about (I've never even seen a diesel R51!) you'll need to add a relay off the battery that's switched on by the ignition. I would check the under-hood fuse box or other relays in the engine bay for your ignition signal. The relay will put a very small load on whatever you hook it to and the relay will handle the 30A load from the battery to your accessories.

 

Don't forget to add a fuse to the 30A circuit as well.
