Quick electrical question

I'm curious where I can tap into the fuse panel to power my electric cutout? I've heard of people tapping into the cig lighter for the power, but I use it for my radar detector and phone charger.

Google search for
"mini fuse add a circuit"

You add these to your existing fuse box and is a lot more safe for your electrical system than tapping into existing power wires.

You can also grab them at a local autozone.

There are existing ports in the fuse panel designated by GM for adding accessories. They are single-sided ports (like half a fuse port) labeled BATT (battery constant power), IGN (ignition switched power), and ACCY (retained accessory power like the radio and windows). Each is a 15 amp circuit.
