Hi,
So i finally got around to wiring up my electric choke.
I just need key on voltage to go to the oil pressure switch. Where can i get this key on voltage from? And, since its the choke circuit, i dont want to just splice into another circuit if its gonna draw too much of a load, i want the choke to be able to get the amount of voltage it needs
And, im not sure if i even want to use the choke spot on the fuse box (Even if i was to, i cant find which one inside the engine bay is the choke one, its the very top left inside the cab where its labeled, but i cant find where it comes out on the other side)
The reason i dont know if i want to use it is because the old wiring only supplies the choke with 2.4V under load, while not under load it has 12v, so there must be some extra resistence that causes that, so instead of messing with it i just disconnected in from the choke thermostat and left it off to the side.
So basically: Wheres a good source of key on power i can tap into without dragging down another circuit for another component?
Thanks!
