Default Need a switched power source...

I just rewired the whole car to accomodate my new radio and speakers. However I did not find an iginition wire behind the dash nor any type of switched power source. I bought an antenna booster adapter and that could use a switched power source too - any ideas?

Drop the your split panel that is below your steering wheel. Also you will have to drop the cover above the pedals. Look for a harnass coming off the steering column and find the solid black wire of the group, that should be your ignition wire. Test with a Multimeter/DMM to make sure that when the key is turned to the on position it goes hot and then turn the key over to make sure the wire stay hot through the cranking cycle.

BTW, Red=+12v Red/Gray=Starter Black=Ignition
