Power Steering relay fed from Alternator

[Ant.]

Have I dreamt it? I am sure I have read on here that someone was going to use an output from the alternator to switch the PS relay, therefore allowing you to also pull the feed supply around to connect on the starter mains...........

Not sure what you mean but I posted that you dont need to run PS when cranking
hence alternator pulls in the PS relay

That is indeed what I meant.....

Which connection on the alternator to feed the relay?

IIRC the switch feed for the relay (green wire) comes from the ECU (through a fuse) which outputs after the car has started?

Its main 12v feed is direct off the battery through an 80amp flat fuse.

I tried using the charge light on a V8S pas conversion and it doesn't work.

Switch feed seems to be same as fuel pump, hence the same prime before the engine starts.
Whole point is to move the main 12v feed , so there is less cables in battery area.
