Fuse block question

[paff2]

I have the fuse block pictured below. I currently have a relay hooked to it for ignition power but would like to have the option to have power to it at times when the ignition is off. There is a place on the other side that I could hook another power wire from a constant hot with a switch. If I power it through a relay will it back feed? Or what would the best way be to hook in a constant power option?


I should add that the connection at the opposite side from my current power source is hot with the rest of the block.


Thanks

Looks like that should work adding a second line to the other side of the fuse block, through a switched relay, OR you could take your new switched lead, attach to the existing ignition lead, put in a diode on the existing lead, and you would be good to go without having to add another stud, relay, or power source. The diode will keep it from backfeeding, and it will use the existing wires that are already in place.
