device ignition circuit ('ON+ start' ou 'accessory') alimentation (de ce dispositif) par contact / par position 'accessoire' du contact

Explanation:
Je crois qu'il faut prendre 'device' et 'circuit' ensemble.

Si je comprend bien, il s'agit de l'alimentation de tel ou tel dispositif (par ex. : le dispositif mis en cause), et de la provenance de cette alimentation : soit lorsque le contact est mis (ignition ON + start), soit à travers la position 'accessoires' de la clé de contact.

Au delà de cette explication, je ne peux vous proposer une meilleure tournure en français...

Dans le premier cas, s'il y a un court-circuit entre l'alimantation 'contact' et la batterie, le [device] restera sous tension en permanence

Dans le deuxième cas, s'il existe un court-circuit entre cette alimentation et la masse, ou qu'elle soit coupée, le [device] ne sera jamais sous tension

Dans le 3e cas, même propos que 1er cas, pour un [device] qui est normalement sous tension uniquement à la position 'accessoire' du contact.

Il faut savoir lire ce texte 'télégraphique' --- il s'agit du "circuit qui alimente le dipositif et qui est mis sous tension par le contact (etc.)" --- à savoir si ce 'dispositif' est de genre s'allumer, mais de toute façon, il ne s'agit pas de l'allumage du dispositif lui même.
