HELP!What fuse is keyed power source inside car to tap into?
I'm wiring up a line-loc today hopefully and I need to know what fuse or a wire I guess to tap into inside the car for a keyed power source. I ran the wire inside the car on the passenger side behind the battery. I have it grouned with the ground under the brake booster. I would like to be able to pull a fuse and put a connector to it to have a clean removable power source instead of cutting/splicing wires to the GM harness. However the professionals please do tell the best way. Maybe Captain Curly will step in LOL!
Thanks for your help.

Theres a HOT and SWITCHED aux wire connector in the passengers foot well. It has 12 VDC HOT, 12 VDC Switched and GROUND. There fuses with a 20 AMP and there made for just this purpose. If they have never been accessed there going to be wrapped in black duct tape.
Look in the foot well, remove the TOE BOARD, and you will see a big silver box (the BCM). The wires will be above the box to the left near the fire wall They will be orange, yellow and black. The wires are dead ended (not attached to any thing)

The YELLOW is ON when the key is in ACC or ON position and is served by Fuse 11 in the I/P fuse block,
The ORANGE is ON at all times, and is powered off Fuse 7
The BLACK is GROUND and is grounded at G202

I used fuse #22 with one of the bayonet type connectors you can get from Autozone for my heated seats. Here's a pic another member posted showing a similar fit.
