Tapping switched 12volt...
Im having an issue with tapping into a 12volt switched power source for my purge solenoid...arming switch is fine...no matter what 10amp fuse block (for switched on devices) I cant seem to get power to the purge switch..I know it works since I tested it straight to the battery..solenoid clicked on/off that way..any ideas???

Buy a 30 amp Bosch/Tyco relay. Run fused battery power to pin 87. Run 30 to your solenoid, ground pin 85, switched hot to your purge button and out of the purge button to pin 86. When the key is on and you hit the button, you will be throwing battery power to your solenoid. Make sure you have good grounds on your solenoids too.
