    Fuse: 15 A - cig lighter. Use a fuse tap-in from RadioShack or walmart.

    Tap into your fuse, or go after your cig lighter wire under your shifter. If you want to know how to safely remove your internal panels, let me know, and I can walk you through it.

    Run the wire from the fuse up to where your side air vent is. I taped my wire to a thin / cheap coat hanger and pushed it up to the right, front side of the pillar. Basically push up and left and it will pop between the side plastic piece and the dash in front of the a-pillar. Hard to explain. I can post pics if necessary.

    Push the wire into the dash, then begin pushing it into the edge of the pillar. I used an old phone card and a small flat screw driver with electrical tape on it. You do not need to take apart the a-pillar or head liner.

    If your asking how to remove your panels to get at your fuse, let me know and I can explain.

    You can push them into the dash, up the pillar, and along the top of the headliner and it will disappear. No trace! Gone! Poof! Hey where did the wires go?

    you can always buy the add-a fuse circuit from pep boys if you don't want to cut/splice into any OEM wires
