Anyone know a safe feed to take approx 10-15 Amps when the ignition is on (not direct from battery)?? Any pics or decent location details would be great

It's for the new age model.

I'm looking to fix up a water pump (screen washer type).

The only safe way to do that sort of current would be via a relay, and fuse, direct from the battery, and linked to it's trigger from say the alternator excitor wire.
The relay would then be "on" whenever the ignition was.
Any reputable car electrics dealer will be able to point you in the right direction, as it's common practise for towing: it's to feed the caravan fridge/battery etc.
Alternatively, try a Scoob dealer for towing electrics, grey socket kit, or a car accessory shop, same thing.

Cheers Alcazar...It's what I've done. Cheap too. Bought 30 Amp relay and fuse holder, did the wiring and works - safe too.
