Makes a ton of sense guys. The previous owner has created a rats nest of wiring and has all the accessories powered by the headlight switch rather than the key.
Since I just got approval from the wife about adding in a stereo (which will require a new dashboard of course), I think I am just going to redo all the wiring and make it off the key switch and add in rockers for added future ability.
Scotty, do you have a relay you would recommend (being a seller here?)
