Hey there;
I tried to search for an answer but I'm being overwhelmed by results for keyed ignition which doesn't help me
This should be an easy one.
So I am installing a 24 to 12 volt converter on my HMMWV and this particular converted comes with an "ACC" input; basically, if that ACC terminal is hot, the converter turns on, otherwise it disconnects to avoid battery drain.
Looking at schematics, I believe I could run a wire from the "IGN" terminal on my alternator to the converter ... and that should theoretically work? Is there a better/smarter way to do this?
I'm planning on doing a write-up of this install when I'm done so other folks can try it. There's some resources out there, but none of them entirely comprehensive with respect to things like wire guage sizes to use, ACC switch, current and working links to parts, etc.
Thanks guys!
