multiple led & starter kill circuit wirin

Teken, thank you very much for the info. i will do that if the scanner ever gets delivered. :-)

im gonna be sidetracked by a new problem. stuck an old pioneer cd player in the car.  now the deck goes on by itself after a few mins (part of the keep alive stuff on that car [94 camaro]. i.e., the radio, windows, etc stay functioning after key removal til the door opens and closes). real PITA.  if i open the door, it kills the deck (just the opposite of how it should work). im sure i wired the deck right (only done ~ 100 decks). and if i had gotten the ig 12+ and memory backwards, id lose presets, time, etc each time i killed the ignition.  the whole memory retention thing on the car is funky and doesnt work as it should (per the owners manual). gonna just run a new key-on wire if i can find a circuit  that isnt part of the memory retention circuitry  (dont know if the BCM is on the way out). always nice to create new problems for yourself.

i really do appreciate all the help you have given me. BTW, you were talking about leds, relays and stuff killin a battery off while you're gone. i think having the radio blasting tunes all night would do it. LOL.....
