Hi All,
I am trying to wire up a dual battery system on the GU Patrol and was wondering if someone can point me towards identifying where is the ignition wire for wiring up to the isolator.

an ignition wire should be anone that is live only after the ignition is on, for eg, most stereos will have a main always live wire and will have a switching wire from the ignition to switch it on when the ignition is on, while the main power supply is still coming from the higher amp always on wire that is from the battery through a fuse for eg.
find a wire from the ignition loom that become live when the ignition is on, but is dead wien ignition is off then scotch lock it
