I am looking for the part that when you turn the ignition on it sends power to the accessories in the car, I cant remember the name but I need one for a project I am working on.

Damned I think it might be a relay. I'm completely having a brain fart right now.

I keep thinking its a regulator.

voltage regulator? That regulates the dc voltage so it doesn't dip or spike on you.

Stay away from the electrical on your bike. It's not a toy. :lol:

Its a relay, and I have a few of them in a box in my shop.

Yup I am doing some work on the bike, I'm adding a few electronic accessories, but not wanting to mess with the bikes electrical system, I am making a seperate electrical system, with its own fuse box and relay.

The only connection to the bikes stock system will probably be near the key and that will be a wire to the relay on the new part of the electrical system. Although I am looking for a switched on connection that is bolted on with a nut, that way I can just bolt it on rather than either splice into it.
