I am connecting a relay to trigger the inverter to turn on when the car is put onto reds. I need a feed in to let the relay know when to let the power pass. where do you guys recommend I should get the feed from.

There are a few plugs under the dash on the drivers side that have supply but if its in the boot try the wires on the passenger side with the amp etc. Its only a trigger so all should be ok.

Get a multi meter on it see it there is any voltage there, if not check the fuses as you may have blown it accidently when working on it.
