Looking for a hot circuit when off/ dead while engine running. (1 Viewer)

[enox]

Hi all,

So I've gotten the itch to reinstall the factory toyota security led light. (It also has a small speaker? but I'll disregard that)

Digging through the electrical diagram is proving to be difficult as my electrical understanding is

On the driver's side I'm trying to find a circuit that is hot while the car is off / then dead when the key is turned (or after starting is fine too)

I'm just trying to get that led to blink when off and then have it stop once I either turn the key or have the motor running...

Looking for input as to what wire or circuit would be good for this little project...

Im also open to installing a viper or another alarm system (according to another thread) if you think that's the best route..

Thanks

Why not just install your own relay to accomplish the same thing? Pin 87a is hot with no power (no contact coil relay)

Olay thank you...

So 87a would be my hot out to the led light.

30 would be the constant hot (when ignition is off)

Then find a hot when engine running for 86

And ground to 85?
