Basic Electrical question

[ebirder2000@...]

John.
First off I have to beg ignorance to 73 birds so take my suggestion with
that in mind. My 79 coach has three circuit strips that are fused feeds to the
coach systems. Actually they are circuit breakers not fuses.
Two of these circuit strips are on (hot) all the time and one of the strips
is hot when the ignition switch is on. These breaker strips are located
behind the drivers side headlights which requires opening the door held by 10 or
so bolts on the front panel.
Again your coach might differ but this would be a convenient place to access
switched power. One thought as I am writing this is that I am having a hard
time understanding why they would want "key on" power for a step switch. I
would think that you would want the step to work the same if the key is on or
not.

My Kwikee Step has landed and I bolted them up to the bus yesterday and
started to review the wiring diagram. I believe I have some
understanding but were do I go to get a connection which is hot only
when the ignition is on? I would assume there is a fuse box some place
perhaps under the dash. I haven't come across it. I have one wire
which is hot all the time which I guess can go directly to the battery
with a fuse inline and then one to the ignition. I obviously don't
know a lot about vehicle electrics so some basic information needed.
Thanks again in advance. This is likely my last major improvement at
least in the short term.
