Fuse tap location

Greetings.

I am going to tap into the fuse panel so I can hard wire my portable GPS to a switched 12V source. The fuse panel cover has an image of what each fuse location is for but over the years it has become hard to read as it is faded.

Does anyone know, off hand, of a 12 volt switched location on the fuse panel that is not being used, that I could tap into with a fuse tap?

Thanks for the continued help everyone.

The full-figured stallion thanks you.



Keith

i wouldn't know on a 95 since my stuff is older but I would suggest just using a light tester to see which ones are powered after the key is turned. Or if you have your owners manual you could look in there to see which fuse is which...
