ACC Wire in Engine Bay?

Is there a wire on the engine harness that can be tapped into that's a switched power?

I'm wanting to wire the relay to my EDC's clutch/pressure switch so it's only activated if the key is turned. If not, I'll run an actual switch or a lead from the cab in...just hoping I don't have to. Thanks!

I think I would tap an ACC circuit, like the radio, and run a new wire through the bulkhead to the relay.

Re: ACC Wire in Engine Bay?

Thanks, panhandler62. Looks like that's what I'll have to do.

I have the Painless fuse box in the cab and it has a couple open ACC clips that I can tap into easily, but does anyone know what the proper connection is to use this? I used a male speaker type connector before and didn't like how it wiggled...just wondering if there's a more dedicated/proper type to use.
