I will be adding a second battery with a relay isolator. I'd like to know of the locations of lines that are active only when the engine is on (not just accessory). It seems the norm is to put the relay isolator in the engine bay, so I'm guessing I'll have to tap into something in the fuse box...

Bought a 2002 GLX 4motion about 4 months ago from a guy. When I test drove it I noticed the yellow car and key light blinking and the guy told me it was because the key needed to be programmed to the car. After more drives, I noticed when the car starts the immobilizer active message appears...
