Quick question for the gurus out there... Hoping to find an UNDERHOOD ignition switched 12V source!



Anyone know off hand if any of the fused circuits in the fuse block under the hood are ignition switched? I was hoping the posts on the fuse block were but no that would be too handy... If at all possible I'd just like to run one of those fuse add-a-circuits since that seems to be the easiest method for a dude like me going DIY. This is just to run a relay so not expecting any real power outta this.



I am aware of the instrument panel fuse block having ignition 12V but for the sake of a nice wiring job... Any ideas about the underhood block?

Sorry to tell you but you are going to need to tap into the fuse block inside the truck for a key on power source. There are several that are unused in the accessories block under the dash. That is where I took power for my front locker and fog lights. You don't have to tap into any other circuits and you can do a very clean install. You just have to use some loom over the wires and you can easily hide them and make your install look factory...mine do!

Crud I kinda thought so!! Thanks a million!!!
