well i need to hook a power something that can only come on when the ignition is switched. how do i splice into that wire? is that a good wire to splice into?
the ignition wire is the black/yellow wire coming from the ignition on most tegs.. may or may not be a good source to tap into depending on what you are hooking up... always a good idea to put a fuse inline..
I can't think of a single Honda that you can't tap switched 12V at the ignition on the white/black wire. Also, the cigarrette lighter is always an option.
how do i find a HOT wire controlled by the ignition switch?
Do you have an aftermarket radio installed?
If you do just use the ignition wire from that. Follow it from the radio harness to where its connected on the OEM ignition wire right behind the radio.
