If you pull up the fuse box, there is an empty connector socket labeled "A". You can plug a 1/4" disconnect onto terminal A21 to get switched +12v.

For these things, I usually fish around the fuse box until I find somewhere to plug in... Haha

I need a power supply that wont cut out while cranking the engine, i was simply going to tap in to the 'out power on the ignition switch and run a relay to the EMS unit. Car currently doesnt have power, hence the issue with no testing light.

I thought about doing an 'add a fuse' in the fuel pump fuse spot in the fuse box... i just think its kind of a hack job and would rather wire it in the "right way".--- whatever that means......
