It is one of the white wires connected to the PCM under the hood. I am not sure which number it is but i am sure someone will post up.

You can splice into it close to the pcm. But dont splice into that purple wire on #10. I forget what one it is on a 98 but that's not the one.

I have a window switch set up on my '98 TA, but I'm at work right now. I'll post it in the morning when I get home.

ok now I have that figured out. One more question and the install will be complete. It says to hook up to a switched 12v source. What are you guys connecting to? Is the remote wire for the radio good for all of these or do I need to find another source? I am brain storming trying to think of the wires that only get power when the ignition is on and I can't think of any but the remote wire on the radio. Thanks for all the reply's

I just grabbed a volt meter and checked in the fuse box (inside the passenger compartment). I found quite a few switched power sources.
