Default Engine Compartment Fuse Panel Need to Power Relay

I want to pickup power at the engine compartment fuse panel.
I want to power a relay when the Ignition key is turned on via a Fuse splice.
Can anyone suggest a fuse I could tap from.

Should be plenty of options. Almost everything should have power to the fuses with the ignition ON. Can't think of any that would not but don't have my FSM with me now. Just pick one and verify you have power there with a voltmeter or a simple test light.

Also try using one of the spare fuses there (27-34).

No, not really Chuck. I assumed they were not wired but without my car and FSM around I could not determine if they were powered internally but no pin for output in the connectors underneath. I figured since the fuse box has blanks and spare locations there may even be connections there in case the box was wired for more than just C5s. I just remember it was very busy inside as this picture shows.

I tried Fuse 6 which is Foglight even though it has a fuse I do not have foglights so it is not hot.
I tried the fuse for AC which is 24, but that is hot even with the key off. Not sure what else might be safe to tap from....

Try fuses 17, 18, 19, or 22. Hot in Start and ON.

If you want to feed from I/P you have many many more options I can provide.
