I am looking for the part that when you turn the ignition on it sends power to the accessories in the car, I cant remember the name but I need one for a project I am working on.

relay?
battery?
wire?

Damned I think it might be a relay. I'm completely having a brain fart right now.

voltage regulator? That regulates the dc voltage so it doesn't dip or spike on you.

Stay away from the electrical on your bike. It's not a toy.
