Electrical Wiring for an Accessory

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me solve my problem. I've searched everywhere and cannot find what I'm looking for. (or I'm searching the wrong things).

I have an accessory that receives power when my ignition is on. What I would like to do is include a switch in this circuit, to break the circuit and cut the power to my accessory. But... When I turn my ignition off and then back on I want this circuit to be closed (my accessory has power). Basically the accessory is always on, unless I manually switch it off with a switch. I don't want to have to switch it back on, but instead it automatically switches back on when I turn the ignition off and on again.

Thanks in advance, I hope I have clearly explained it.
 
Howdy Breso, welcome.

Edit;

I misread and gave advice that wouldn't help. (Just woke and on 1st cup of coffee)
But again, welcome. Ride safe!

Found this discussion on "always on.." vs not;

https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/7687/12v-acc-switched-vs-12v-always-on

A bit academic and higher than we are talking, I believe but on topic and hopefully germane.

Think I am still misreading your goal and thought this might be helpful being that it's about the pros and cons.

One suggestion was to bypass the switch so that it's always hot and operates with the ignition. On//Off.

But think you could also buy a switch that would require you to turn it off and always be on if the ignition is on. As well.
