Easily accessed power source

[Summerson1]

So I used the scosche gm07b harness for my 01 se and the red lead don't work. My options are to run a toggle switch off the yellow lead which is what the red lead is connected to now and drain my battery if I forget to unplug the stereo from the car, or find an accessible key switched source from elsewhere. My fuses look fine. Any suggestions?

Behind the key cylinder is a switched power wire for sure.

what color is the wire? I'm looking for the least dash tearing I can get away with

I'm fascinated that this topic keeps coming up. I don't have a service manual for the 2000+ Bonnevilles, but seriously, how hard is it for one of you 2000+ guys to look up a switched power source at the fuse block? I've managed to do this with pretty much every car I've ever owned. Can't someone with a 2000+ fuseblock wiring diagram identify a switched power circuit so that the 2000+ crowd can have a go-to source for switched power?

When we ID this, can we place it in a techinfo or something?
Am I missing something? Is the fuseblock in the 2000+ located in a weird place or something? (Along the lines of the battery being under the back seat?)

This just CAN NOT be that hard, and yet it comes back over and over and over again.

Sorry if I'm starting to rant, but sheesh, this can't be that difficult.

Thats a good point bugsi. Now I feel like a tard for not using the search function more. Anyways, I just have the switched power supplied by tapping into the constant power supply and controlled by a toggle switch for now until I can find a key switched source. Onto bugsis suggestion I second a tech article or a sticky pointing out the possible sources for keyed power for us 2000+ guys.

When I put the radio in my 2000 SLE I checked both sides of every fuse in the fuse box under the back seat. It is entirely possible that I missed something but I didn't find any wire that was only hot when the car was on. Most stayed hot 10 minutes after the car was off and the doors were open.

I ran into the same issue. Since I also didn't want to tear the entire dash apart to source an ignition lead, I wired it to the cigarette lighter. Then, in the fuse box under the hood, the fuse that runs the cigarette lighter has 2 positions- one for always on or the other switches off after 10 mins. This was ideal for me as devices often are left plugged into the cigarette lighter, and I don't want to wake up to a dead battery some morning. And, having had my car broken into and stereo stolen once, having the stereo continue to play after the car is off and doors open reminds me to at pull the faceplate (although I'm less paranoid now, years later).

my vehicle is a 2001 Bonniville ssei

i have my aftermarket amp wired to this fuse, when ignition on/run (Amp on), ACC (Amp off, Radio on, no delay) ,OFF (Radio on till door or 10 min, Amp off)



Fuse #12 - IGN 1 (10A)









It's not a proper fuse tap but it workes
