Relay help needed....sooner the better...
The power line is usually fused at the battery and runs through one of
the rubber firewall plugs. I usually 8 gauge or heavier depending on the
application.

I've always relayed the radio to the key in iwre on the ignition. I
think its brown/red IIRC. This way the radio goes on and off with the
key being in the ignition.

Okay, so once again I fucked up. Thanks a ton for pointing that out. :)
So
I'll rewire the whole damned thing, but I'll probably tap into the rear
defog as I did on Klaus as it's closer to where my new wire to the radio
goes. And yes, I have the red hooked up to this new source, and the
yellow
to regular power. I was wondering about how power would travel through
the
relay properly, obviously I misunderstood where to take it off from. I'm
in
a crabby mood for this close to Cincy eh? This time of year is just too
busy. Off to work, which will be 110F today no doubt.
