Look in the electrical box on the engine for a blue/red wire, this is always an ignition switch controlled supply on Volvo engines.

So the easiest to find is the feed off the gauge illumination - it is only live when the ignition is on and can be found as one of the blades off the push button switch.

Make sure you read the volts off it and compare to the battery terminal - the regulator wants to know what the battery volts are and there will by now be some resistance in the wire - so ensure that it reads very very close to the battery voltage

Thanks @spafound several red and blues so was spoilt tor choice ?

@robreluckily the Balmar 614 regulator has a separate battery sense connection from the ignition live so wired the sense direct to the battery thanks
