I'm trying to set up an 8 gang switch panel to control some offroad lights that I plan to add in the near future. My only issue right now is that I can't find anything online about an ignition powered fuse in the engine bay, the only one I have seen people here talk about is the heated steering wheel fuse in the passenger side fuse box. If anyone here knows of a ignition powered fuse in the engine bay that would be a huge help to me, as it will save me a lot of time installing this thing.

Whipple actually uses the EVAP circuit to get its switched power for the intercooler pump. I'm pretty sure in the previous generation they used a fuse in the fusebox for the heated O2 sensor or something like that. if they've changed where they get power to a less convenient place it could be there isn't a suitable fuse in the box. I'd definitely like to know if anyone is aware of one.

if you are installing a switch panel you will have to run wires through the firewall anyway, why not use the heated wheel fuse location like is commonly done, just run the power through the firewall. It might end up being the easiest option.

The upfitter harness below the dash has accessory/ignition lead in it that you can tap into, I believe it’s fused at 10A

The photographs below show how I picked up power for my front camera by tapping into position 40 in the under hood fuse box on my Silverado Custom.  I ordered the tap from Amazon.  Using a ten amp fuse, it has worked fine with no problems
