Maybe I'm not understanding something ... but when I insert my key into the ignition on my '85, that circuit energizes ... whether I turn the key or not (I get the key in ignition buzzer when the door is opened).

If I were to add anything to that circuit ... it would just be to energize a relay for routing actual power from elsewhere.
