Default Easiest place to tap into a switched hot wire under hood of srt6?

Anyone know where the easiest place to access a switched hot wire under the hood of a srt6 is? I have mine covered up and it is snowing here so I will be unable to check for myself until Saturday at the earliest. We are scheduled for 6+ inches of snow the next few days.

If you have a photo of the wire location or which fuse location to use that would be great!

from the ecu compartment. If you remove both ecu and fuse block you will see the passage clear all the way through the firewall. I used this for my zietronix, and it's completely stealth. You can't even tell where the wideband wires are coming back in. It looks completely stock.

One of the wires coming from the fuse block. I'll have to find the pic I took. I don't even have my car otherwise I'd go look for you. I had to make room at my house for food after the funeral that I parked 2 of my cars elsewhere. I still haven't had time to pick them up. Take a meter and test one for 12v acc, and I always have someone start the car to see if the voltage drops when cranking. That's usually not a good acc. Once I get my car back I'll let you know.

Your best bet is to use an add-a-fuse and just find one that is hot when the key is on inside the fuse box. You can run the wire out the side through one of the rubber grommets and it will keep everything from getting wet. Another nice thing about this, you're not cutting into any wires and having to worry about them corroding.
