Where can I tap power/how to connect to the fuse box?
I need a power wire to tap into to rig my interior lights. I found an empty fuse connection in the fuse box, but it's only a one prong connection. I could use a relay, but I don't know where to draw from. Here's the setup-I'm using the hatch release switch to turn on my sex lights. I need constant power(whether ignition is on or off). I also don't know how to make a fuse box connection. Any help here is much appreciated. Thanks.

Use the Acessoires end on the fuse box. Its usually empty in the back

The easiest way to make a connection at the fuse box is with a "fuse tap".. It's a piece of metal shaped to conform to the side a standard automotive miniature fuse, with a blade connector on one end. You just pull out the accessory fuse, slip the fuse tap over it, and plug it back into the fuse panel. Then you attach a female blade connector to the wire for your accessory and plug it into the tap. If there's an inline fuse on the accessory wire, you attach the fuse tap to the supply side of the fuse. If not, then attach it to the other side of the fuse. You can figure out which side is which by removing the fuse and using a test light to see which side lights up.

Autozone carries a add a circuit which just6 plugs into any exsiting fused circuit and splits it into 2.and has a power wire to go to what you are adding,your new circuit can be fused up to 10 amps.I wired all my interior aftermarket gauges this way.
