Luckily, there is a fuse panel just inches from your A pillar. I believe there will be a pink one in there that is 12v switched by the ignition. Double check with a test light or volt meter. There are some empty slots in there.

What exactly does using a flat spade consist of? Do you just add a connector to the power wire and plug it in, and the ground goes wherever is convenient? Or is there a way to actually wire up a new fuse in one of the empty slots?
