new to car electronics & 12volt. so need a bit of help from resident installers/electricians. will be a good learning exp for me.

i bought a tailgate foot sensor. with 4 wires.

Trigger

ACC

constant 12v

Ground

is it recommended that i tap into a 12v/ACC wire somewhere in the back or run new one from fusebox? If i do tap. i will be putting in inline 5a fuse for each acc/12v

Also, I've been reading in the RDX the trigger (automatic close) is positively wired? how can i confirm this? I believe a voltmeter? but not sure what im looking for. and if its positively wired so i need a relay?

is it recommended i tap into close button or release/open button trigger?

thanks in advance
