Where to tap switched power underhood?

I'm trying to quickly wire in an electric airpump. I need switch power (not on with key off) and I don't know where a good place to tap would be.

I tried to run off the fog light switch and it seems to ground there but supply no power.

Car is single turbo with stripped down (Rywire) harness.

Thoughts?

You can tap the windshield wiper motor connector. There is a switched 12v there.

There is a fuse block down the front of the car, mounted to the radiator support panel. Its a long thin box. There are many switched 12V power wires underneath it to tap into.

That's where I tapped to get switched 12V for my intercooler fans.
