Accessories on when the ignition is on?
I really didn't want to start a new thread for this. But after a few searches (I won't lie and said I searched every known iteration for ignition accessories), I can't exactly seem to find what I need.
So here's what I need. Got some new lights. Want them to be on whenever the ignition is on. Ignition fuse is a 10A under the dash. Wiper fuse is a 20A under the dash. Those would be preferable if not for being inside the cabin. I would like to keep my wires all under the hood. I don't necessarily want to run wires in through either the firewall or through the fender shroud harness.
My question is are there any fuses or relays in the under-hood fuse box that is on with the ignition? And which one would be best to tap into for continuous power?
A 2000 UCF without air suspension. I mention that because under the drivers headlight, I think I saw a relay junction that contained a "Air SUS" relay, along with 2 radiator fan relays and something else I can't recall right now. My radiator only has one fan. The A/C condenser, or clutch or whatever that assembly is, sits in the spot that the other fan would normally sit (I think). Could I tap into those if they are always on with the Ign?
Secondary question: Is there a cleaner way to tap into a fuse/relay other than wedging the wire under said fuse/relay?

So the 40A air suspension fuse that sits in the relay box under the drivers headlight is on whenever the ignition is on? Sa-weet.... No need to go through the firewall grommet if I can just tap that fuse right? And run my ground to any bolt or the negative battery terminal..
