I’m on a another car forum and although the guys are very helpful and knowledgeable, it seems they have a chip on their shoulder for the way questions are asked.

Wanting to keep it simple, I asked if there was switched power under the hood and where it was. I get responses that there are four positions at the ignition source and which one do I want it on.

At first, I thought it was me, but I see the same type of responses to other questions. When I read posted questions, I feel like I understand the question, but others like to answer with more questions to boost their post count.

See the discussion below.

What do you think?

Electrical work is not my forte, but is there switched power under the hood and where is it?

#2
What do you mean by switched? There is 12v at the jumper post R rear marked +.

#3
I assume he means switched by ignition key, though he did not state that nor which ignition switch position (there are four: 0-3].

#4
For MS43 DME, these are the switched 12v sources when key turned to on: F1, F2, F3, F4.

#5
Switched, as in when I have the engine running, I have constant power. When I pull the key out, the constant power source is turned off.

I want a switched power source, so that I can install a fan on my oil cooler.
