Ignition unfused on fuse panel
Hey guys I have a question... wiring is definitely not my thing, so don't roast me to bad! I have a 68 c10 I'm building, all the wiring is brand new. AAW plug and play factory harness front to back. Im starting to wire everything up and tested the lights today and tail lights are good. Headlights won't come on though but I think its the dimmer switch. But my real question is the unfused ignition location is always hot. Im trying to run a electric fuel pump from it. Even with a separate fused toggle its always running. Can someone point me in the right direction on this? Thanks gentlemen

I don't know anything about aftermarket wiring but the IGN UNFUSED terminal should be hot when the ignition switch is in the on position only. Sounds to me like there is a wire on the wrong terminal on the back of the switch. LockDoc

Re: Ignition unfused on fuse panel
It should only be hot when the key is on. I looked at the wiring diagram but I'm unable to decipher it properly. What color goes to it on the passenger's side of the connector?

Re: Ignition unfused on fuse panel
An electric fuel pump should not be running if the engine is not running. Even if you connect it to a switched source of power, you should also add a tach-based control module or oil pressure switch so it will not continue to pump gas if you are in a collision and your engine stops.

Re: Ignition unfused on fuse panel
I do not know what part # your using or what color wire your trying to tap into but with my AAW all of the pink wires are keyed power.
