OK, I guess I was hoping for a way to utilize existing buttons on the interior to give me power in the under-hood fuse box when I want it. The potential for stray radio signals (or someone else with a transmitter) turning on my lights without my knowledge scares the crap out of me!
I have the scanner physically mounted and I ran the wire harness through some loom to the engine compartment fuse box which makes for a nice clean look. I would like to terminate all my wires in there to keep it clean.
For now, I plan on connecting the red power lead to the "extra" 15 amp fuse and connect the white "headlamp" wire to one of the two existing fuses for the headlights. These fuses are conveniently not powered until the headlights are turned on and the relay is engaged.
Now I just need to find a good place to connect the black ground lead within that box. Any ideas? Can I get to a grounded mounting screw beneath the top panel if I remove those top 3 screws? (I noticed none of the top 3 screws are grounded.)
