Hi all, I am trying to locate an Ignition switched power source under the hood. I am wiring in a daytime running lights module that would activate as soon as the ignition is switched on, but be inactive when the engine is shut off. I can easily splice into a wire if I know which one to go to. Any help will be appreciated. Jim

I used fuse number 39 (GT car, rear defroster) as a key on power source to activate the relay for my extra lights. The relay is a light load, then that powers the lights. Works for me.

Also, if you read in the manual looking at the fuse listing, it tells what key position the fuses have power in.
