pretty basic wiring question

I have a washer bottle i want to wireup. but i need it on a toggle switch and it has nothing to do with the original washer bottle so it cant be hooked up threw that. wheres the best place to get the 12v feed from?

Directly to the battery on its own "inline" fuse... although... considering it is "essentially" the same as the waher bottle in your car... why dont you tap into the supply power to the washer bottle...

then, it will be fused via the fuse for that.???

 

[fonzo]

But if i tap into that line will it only work when i pull the washer stalk foward?

 

[ephect]

nope it will only use the same fuse as the washer, if you use the same power feed, you can install a switch where ever you want in the cabin and feed it down to the mister

Make sure the switch you get or got can handle the current draw from the washer unit. Other wise it will burn out.
You can use a relay if the switch cant handle the current. Using a relay is better because you can use a smaller switch.
