Why not tap into a wire and put a switch onto it? And what for if you don't mind me asking.

Pink Wire from the TCS button in the center console is a 12V switched power source.

Don't forget to match your new total current draw to the existing wire size. A little math now will save headaches later.

That is what I am worried about, I am hooking up a 30A bottle heater and some N20 solinoids

I think I will try and find that pink in the consol from my ASR and use just a few milli amps of that to control my relay coils and then just pull the main pwr for that 30A pig heater off the Batt.

Thanks guys

There are 2 open slots in the driver's side fuse box.
IGN=12v switched (ignition on)
ACCY=12v Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

If you are looking for spots under the hood you can jump off the headlamp door slots.
I used one in my Camaro for an EWP. (ignition on)

The add a circuits are to big and will not allow the fuse box door to be reinstalled.
