So anyone have any ideas as to what this wire is for? I was changing my ignition switch today when I noticed it and couldn't find a home for it. It looks like it comes out of that white plastic box on the back of the tumbler as is highlighted in the pic below.

so it's just a switched power source for wtv you want? so that's what people meant when they were talking about using the ignition wire...*sigh* lol. Well I just used the positive to my stereo and the lower shift boot bracket for my fan switch and relay.

Thanks, glad to know it's ok.
