constant 12v source?

Hi, Im trying to find the location of a constant 12 volt source. Preferably it would be near the passenger side dash area. I would like for this source to have 12 volts whether the key is in the ignition or not.

Thanks in advance!
James

Depends on what kind of amp draw you are looking for too.

I'd be careful as the 12v for the radio memory may be it's own circuit, part of another larger one, or something else. The 12v circuit for the memory on the clock and radio draws very little and consequently not designed for a large amp draw.

My 2 cents and worth exactly half of what you paid for.

the 12v from the radio should be enough to power the leds and radio.

The battery should be the light blue one and the ground is brown.
use a multimeter to see if im correct before splicing into anything.
