I have some projects going right now and I"m stopped on adding accessory power from the fuse box. I just don't know how to do it. Anyone have any tips/pictures/reference for me?

Thanks!

what kind of vehicle? if you are looking for a key switch wire then find one under the steering column. find one that runs 12+ volts with the key in acc. just probe them with a DMM. be careful dont blow the airbags!

That's what I was thinking, too. For now I have it jammed in with an accessory fuse.

I ran it from the fuse box hooked to the windshield wiper blade for my HU because my car didnt have a constant 12v wire for the cd player. Crutchfield gave me a wire that had an end on it that the fuse just slipped into.
