Switched power

I am looking for a source for switched power under the dash. I am going to wire up power to my TST507 TPMS but I would like to have switched power. I have a bundle of wires all capped off under there but no idea if any are switched power. I thought I would ask before trying to probe each and every one.

You can also use a fuse tap and access power from a fuse which is powered ignition on. Sometimes better than splicing into electrical.

Yup, worked great! And there is a small screw right there through a piece of metal into some plastic kinda right behind the emergency brake lever that I used for ground.
