Need 12v Connection In Interior Fuse Box?

pink1632 · April 13, 2011

OK electrical guru's, I need to find some way to hook up to a 12v, ignition on, terminal within the interior fuse box, what is the easiest way or is there one? I'm wiring a new electric gauge to the interior of my '02 but need a "hot" line, with key on, to hook into. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How about using an Add-A-Circuit that elcomp mentions in this write-up on adding a switch for the cargo bed light? You'd need to find a switched-12 volt fuse connection, though.

this is the best way to do it. i hooked my interior switches for my extra driving lights this way, you can also use it to power interior accessories with good relayed power either key on or always on.

I have some what the same problem, I want to hook up a backup monitor and use an interior connection on my 2009 Sierra the connection should be ignition on and would like to use the fuse block in the dash when you open the driver side door by the steering wheel. Any suggestion on which fuse I should use. If not this fuse block, which one and which fuse.

Thanks
