Seriously beginner electronic question. I need a circuit that detects power (+12 volts) in one line - and then allow power to flow in another (+12) line. Basically, I keep blowing the accessory fuse on my motorcycle and would like to create a switchable (power on) - line that detects power in the accessory wire then lets power come off the battery in another line - preventing further issue. Any help, please? |

I'm thinking what I want might be a transistor (PNP) - but I'm unsure. and even if that is correct, how to I properly use it? |

Don't overcomplicate this. All you need is a relay, coil in the one line and N.O. contact in the other. |

I think I mixed up "accessory line" and "control line" |
