I purchased a lightbar and wiring harness. The harness connects directly to the battery and has power all the time. Is there a way to wire the harness to where it only gets power when I turn the key on?

What does the pre-wired switch look like?

Sometimes.
You can snip the trigger wire and hook it to a key-on source.

Ya.. idk.

But concept is still the same though.
1 hot wire.
1 trigger wire out.
1 ground wire.

Is that a Rough Country/Cree light bar switch? As others have said, you just need to grab ACCY (Key-On) power and then run the light bar through a relay that's controlled by the Key-On power. You'll want to use a relay because the ACCY circuit is shared with other items and is limited current. For a standard automotive relay, the wiring would be as follows:
  • remove the light bar positive connection and connect it to 87
  • connect the battery to 30
  • connect ground and key-on accy power to 86 and 87 (either way)
  • (If the relay has am 87a terminal , it will not be used)
A detailed write up about relays with lots of pictures can be found at this page, if you're looking for more info.

Does this plug into another harness running to your relay. If they are black blue and white like most eBay harness then you need a five pin switch.
