Keyed power source
I am wiring a selenoid for powering a trailer battery and it needs a "keyed "power source so the Jeep battery is not drained when parked.
Any ideas where might be easiest to get attached to? One suggestion so far is the wiper motor wires.?

one of the two 12v on the center console (cigarette lighter jack) is keyed. You setup a relay and hook it up there. Easy to access, and at least you will know if it shorts out and really doesnt affect much. What if you short our your wipers while you are towing in a snow blizzard and you cant see?

Just another idea. Also there are several places to tap from the fuse box.
Think they are mentioned in this thread link as well.
