Which wire for switched power?
I need a switched power wire for my nitrous kit (only on when ignition is on) I want to avoid getting into the underside of the fuse box again like I did for my EWP. Can anybody give me another location on the passenger side inside or outside of cabin? A pic would be helpful if you have it. Thank you.

i used the 10 amp for the wiper/washer that in the fuse box by the passenger feet (its behind a little cover to the right of the main fuses) i used it for the amp wire turn on and its only hot when the ignition is on

I also need one that is 20 or 30 amp. Its for a nitrous kit with a bottle heater, purge, remote opener etc so its going to draw some juice. I though about the fuel pump fuse. Any downside to using that? I figure if the fuel pump fuse pops then the nitrous kit will lose its power as well.

Im not much for pics since I dont have a camera but I am learning a lot here so if you have any questions when your install comes up feel free to email me and Ill try and help you along. Ive almost got the whole system figured out now after about 8 hours of trying to figure it out. Just trying to figure out how Im going to power it now.

Thats not an intermittent switch that is only active during operation of the windshield wipers?

This is what I was looking for. Do I tap it where it comes into the heater button or use it near the fuse panel?

You tap it right at the fuse with a fuse doubler from autobarn. It plugs in instead of the fuse and has two fuses on it. One is for the fuse you removed and the other is for the new positive wire that it provides.
