    Hello all! 09 taco here. Wiring up a relay box and I would like to have it only receive power when the engine is on. I can't seem to locate anything that accomplishes this. Any tips would be awesome!

    Are you asking for key ON power source, or actually engine running power? The latter will be difficult to accomplish.

    If the above is too complicated, you could just use a posi-tap type to same wire (EB1 _3).
