xviper (or was it matrix?) posted a nice pic of the fuse box connectiosn you're looking for. There are three spade connectors in the fuse box above your left knee...one is constant on, one is on while cranking, one is one while car is running (I think). Use those...

These power taps are on the edge of the underdash fuse panel. Actually, one is HOT constant, one is HOT with ignition, one is HOT with dash lights. Can't remember which is which at this time. Use a voltmeter or test light and you'll know right away.

You'll need female "spade" connectors. Measure the male counterpart on the fuse panel for size so you get the right size to match.

I have two very small wires for my radar detector. Do I need to send one to the fuse box and one to ground?
