Which wire to jump into for +12v around steering column
I have been crawling around my floor mat and look thru the manual and still cant figure which wire is best. I am trying to find a SWITCHED 12V source to power my wideband gauge.

Which wire do you recommend jumping into?

I used a fuse tap and plugged it in to the "cigar" fuse on the fuse box to the left of the clutch pedal, takes 2 mins

I use a flat connector insert in the fuse box with an inline fuse

The photo is from a RHD fd fuse box but is the same as LHD
