I used the pink wire off the traction control switch.

Or just use the open spot on the fuse box on the side of the dash. It is ignition. Use a fuse add-a-link from an autoparts store.

The switches will barely use any power..maybe 0.1amp....you can hook them all up to that source.

Thanks guys, I'll use that one. For the heater and bottle opener could you use the 12v source for the rear window defroster? CJay

NautySS99 -- nice clean looking install!

I have a crazy question -- I have the exact same control panel for my switches, however I couldn't get the cigarette lighter out of the housing to mount the plate. Can you tell me how you did that? I've twisted, pushed, pulled, etc. and I don't think anything short of just breaking it will get it out.
