Which wire(s) can I tap into
Looking for a 12v source for an LED near the front fog lights that will be ON whenever the engine is running and OFF when the engine is off.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

I do have a changer and was hoping for a switched source closer to the headlights or fog lights.

Nothing that far up. You could use the I/P fuse box fuse 11 to do what you want, the 3rd option below. Use the wire there or a fuse adapter. your choice. I don't like to tap into existing circuits.
1997-2003
In the passenger foot well there should be 3 auxiliary power wires.
Orange wire taped off. Always powered from Fuse #7 (20 Amp). This Fuse is shared with the cigarette lighter.
Orange wire to a connector. Always powered from Fuse #1 (20 Amp). Fuse is shared with the accessory power port in the center console.
Yellow wire taped off. Powered from ignition switch when in "ACC or On". Powered from Fuse #11 (20 Amp). Not shared with anything.
Here is a link with more info and pictures:

Thanks, but that is already in use and too far away for my needs.

just the way the first post read made it sound like you wanted an indicator LED near the fog light switch to turn on/off with the engine as if to show whether it's running or not... kind of like what guys hook up when spraying meth

I knew exactly what and where you wanted it. I just can't think of anything that would do that closer than the engine fuse box.
