Relay Wiring: General Question

["David Moag" <moag@ix.netcom.com>]

Hello Again,

If I'm going to be wiring an accessory that I only want on when the ignition
is on, and using a rely, is it OK to have an always hot lead running to the
accessory and have an ignition-on lead running to the switch that controls
the relay? Seems reasonable to me, but I'd rather not melt down the car just
yet over something like this. The only reason I'd consider doing the wiring
like this is the location of the switch and accessory may make it easier at
times.

Thanks,
