What circuits are typically 12v constant powered and what are key switch powered? The harness I have has brake lights, horn, and headlights as 12v constant. Fan, gauges, and choke/fuel pump go to ignition. Alternator exciter and heater go to key acc. I need to add wipers. Where should the power come from?

Why would you want the Alt and heater to have power when you are in ACC? (the engine would not be running and the Heater would be a considerable draw on the battery)(these two should be on the run side of Ign switch)
More likely it would be the radio and cig lighter(unless cig lighter is constant hot)2002 F250 Superduty, 7.3 241,500 miles and counting
