    I’m installing a Borel Exhaust High Temp Alarm on our Cummins 2013 QSC 8.3 engine. Based on the Ignition wiring harness, is there a natural connection point with the Key on for the Alarm?

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I agree with your recommendation. The key switch is an encapsulated plastic box with a wiring harness coming out of it. I was wondering if there is a natural connection point to the keyed switch the people have used before. I guess I will have to trace the wiring harness to see if I can find a connection point.

    You’re supplying switched 12V to the alarm panel so it’s most easily done at the key switch.
