Hi!  I'd like to know how to wire A LED scanner light with a switch that will run with the car on or off.  It worked fine with my alarm, but as soon as I installed the starter disable relay, I guess it disabled the light to, since I had to use the same output from the alarm.  Thank you!

Just run a slight single wire from your power terminal to your switch.

Do I need to wire a relay?

No, if your using a switch it will act as the relay.

I have a led scanner light i'd like to wire to my alarm.  it worked fine until I added the starter kill relay circuit on the same negative output of the alarm. now it won't come on at all.  the starter kill works fine.  its a three wire scanner light, red positive, black negative and blue switched.  what do i do to make this work?  i thought of running a seperate switch to turn it on when I leave the car, but there has to be a better way.  Help!!
