need quick help, hot in run source
I need to find a good source of hot in run that is easy to get to and inside the car (BCM/console area) the factory connector for accessories is hot in run but not while cranking, I really need one that is hot while in run and during engine start as well. any good sources?

can anyone tell me really quick if the brown wire F7/C2 on the automatic HVAC control panel is hot during engine start? I can't remember if that thing turns off during start up. for some reason I think it does.

but I'm pretty sure that wire is not hot during engine start, which would cause accessories to reset during engine start. something I don't want to happen. Maybe the only place to get it is behind the ignition switch...I'm not brave enough to start taping into those wires, especially with the column lock problems we have anyway.
