Default Additional equipment connected to ignition

Does anyone know how to connect something to the ignition switch (i.e. when i start the bike it turns on) on a 2015 sportster (sefenty-two in this case)

I tried the red and orange wire on the 10amp fuse and it turns out it doesn't do it as it is always on. I think this is due to the integrated circuitry. So what is the correct way to do it ?

Thanks

if it was me i would wire in a relay . a bit more involved but , it does what u want and is much better for the scoot


u can also use the pigtail thats used for the charger, and just disconnect it when ur done riding .

Relay will be good I agree but I am really running out of space .. so my initial idea was directly to the fuse ... as it turns out not the solution. I mean come on there should be something that turns on with ignition right :/ what is the wiring diagram of the accessory plug maybe i can use that
