Default Switched Power??

Where are you guys getting your switched power (of and on with the key) for the nitrous buttons and such? I had tapped one of the wires for the radio, and that worked, but now the radio and the buttons don't work?

I originally wanted to go off the cig. lighters, but they are always on, thanks. Thought I was almost done with this isntall

Now my radio and front cigarette lighter don't work, but the 2'nd cig lighter in the armrest does have power though!? Can't find any blown fuses?? Anyone know where/what I should look at.

I've separated anything from drawing power from those sources? I check all the fuses near the battery and most in the passenger compartment. I don’t have the little plastic cover for the one in the passenger foot well, so I don’t know what is what there?

Also, I wanted power near the switch panel, is it ok to tap off one of the AC unit power wires?

I wouldn't recommend tapping into anything. Thatr only seems to cause problems.

Guess your right, cause now the blower doesn't work, the instructions you posted have me taping power to the BCM, I guess that's ok? I'll just do it from here like I should have, and hope my other issues are fuses.
