My first haltech install wheres this grey wire go?

Im talking about the 12 volt switch. OK I have read the old post and all of them say just to poke around with a test light. So I found one that I wanted to use and just wanted to see if this is ok. Well its the Black/White wire that goes to the stock FD iginitor.

Ok, wait, are you talking about the "activator" wire? the one that goes onto a 12v switched source? That goes to a 12V switched source just like it says. I wouldnt use anything that powers the ignition components though, shoot for something that is powered with the Accesories.

Accesory switched 12v source, non important or demanding, like the radio activation source, or power to the lights?

mate you dont want it connected to an ACC source.. you need an ignition source.. ie, the second click of the key in the ignition barrel..

if you have it set to acc, when you go to start the car, the acc circuit is cut, so your fuel pump, coils, sensors, ecu are all turned off. not good.

i used the stock main relay activation wire in the engine bay on my FC, i pulled the relay out as the haltech relays replaced it.

Thats what im trying to establish here, but his answers arent direct. Anyway, you need a 12v feed that is energized when the ignitino switch is the ON possition, and has power during the "START" position.

Go straight to the ignition key switch.
Don't mess around with other wires.
For FC's, it's the "IG1" wire.
I think FD is labelled the same?
