Hi guys, need to know a couple of things.

If possible from the trunk fuse box...

Where can I locate the 12V ignition wire

The headlights wire (could this be the tail light wire as well)?

12 volt accessory wire (is this the same as ignition wire?

There's a loom adjacent to the battery, covered with a fabric tape. definately an ignition there, I've done a tracker unit in the trunk, can't remember the colour, it's the only time I've been near one. Acc will be at the front.

ACC - when starting it drops out during crank.Nothing in the OFF possition

IGN - has 12 volts when ON and stays constant during crank. Nothing in the OFF possition

Don't want to be rude here but there is no real way to explain the differences without sounding patronising. Velocity is right but here are the reasons:- ACC for circuits you might want to power up, but didn't want to burn out a coil or the battery drain from various other circuits such as AC, HR window being left on, thus you could run radio, wipers horn, cig light and maybe power windows. These distinctions have been blurred with modern cars because of CAN systems feeding the radio etc, sleep circuits to aid the battery etc. etc. Many Eurocars, eg VW GM Mercedes, BMW no longer have acc to the radio, simply live, ground and CAN (or a similar data system)

That was me being patient posted_image

You should see some of LoneRanger's posts, sorry to use an English Expression I was "Gob smacked" our friend didn't know the difference. I'm waiting for someone to go "Oh really?" When some one else points out that all ignition leads except the 12V+ sit on ground. But I'm not all bad please see my post on R/S in Mercedes that should kill number 4 on FAQs.

Your third picture, bottom right, you can actually see the loom I was referring to. It's worth testing for an ACC there as well but I doubt it.

Yup,that loom goes directly into the fuse box. got my volt meter, will find it 100%

well I found it, its fuse 35. it basically turns on when car key goes to acc, and stays on till car key goes off and door opens. That should be good enough for what I need it for. Think I am going to run a relay off the battery and have that fuse 35 trigger it. thanks to all for the help guys.
