Adding a circuit that is hot during run only

[curtis73]

Thanks! I posted a message over at a caddy forum too, so maybe they'll have an idea of where to get the pressure.

Excellent idea on the isolated battery... much like a motohome is set up with a coach battery isolated from the van battery. The thinking caps are ON here.

A very big thanks to all who've chipped in on this!

I like the oil pressure switch idea. Run thru a relay it would probably work better than my old vacuum switch idea. We used them because the are also available with a pot so the output would vary with load. ..... Here comes the boss, gota go.

curtis, are you going to add a override switch to? like on/off/run

That would be a smart idea. That way I can bypass it entirely if I don't need it or force it to come on if necessary.

This project is really going to tax my electrical abilities. I have a 21-circuit aftermarket harness. I'm going to be adding 12v plugs in the rear seat area, and also making the interior lighting be hot, switched with the door, or off.

that doesn't sound to hard at all(at least for me) just post if you need a wiring diagram drawn up or such.
