Under the left side of the dash there's a 12v switched source for accessories, it's a yellow 3-way female bullet connector (assuming a PO hasn't hacked the wiring).

GREEN with a YELLOW stripe is hot-at-all-times power to the courtesy lights. There should be a tap behind the glove box.

There should be a BLACK with a GREEN stripe tap on the driver side behind the dash. However this is not fused. You can also borrow off the radio power (YELLOW with a BLACK stripe) which is fused.
