Im not at my house right now, but when i get back, i can take a picture and send it to you. Im not sure if you have the same color wire, but it would be in the same pin location. It would be really easy to find if you have a test light or a nice DMM. I don't like to use Fuse taps.

I used a fuse piggyback and tapped int the fusepanel on one that would be powered at KEY ON but was not tied to the PCM or critical functions.

I used Fuse 18

I found this page to be very helpful, although a bit difficult to get to this wire for me, I tied mine into a recent GPS 12 switched source along with the ground going to the same GPS groung source and all worked well, I also used the dimmer switch as my lighting as many others have done, and im very glad I did those gauge lights can be a little distracting.

Yeah, I think that is the one I used. If you look in the manual, it is the one label "Customer Access". I tied in my power mirrors and the heat from there.
