[AT] Waaayyyy OT

Thanks. What I actually need is a lead that only becomes energized when the 
car is put into reverse.  The reverse fuse circuit is bundled with several 
other circuits, so unless I can find a lead somewhere under the dash that 
handles just the reverse lights, I'm pretty sure I'll end up running an 
extra line. Not a big deal, was just hoping to avoid running a 12v wire from 
front to back.

Thanks

Dick
