try the cigarette lighter

: Does anyone know where I could draw a +12v constant power source underneath the dash near the steering column? I've seen tons of red wires and havn't tested any of them just yet...figured I would save time and ask. The reason for the need is for a keyless entry system and I can't figure out how to run wires from the engine compartment through the firewall to where I need power to be....so that's out of the question (all the holes in the firewall seem to be totally closed). If anyone has any ideas as to which wire would be a winner, please let me know! (perhaps a positive wire headed to the central lock relay for when you unlock doors?)
