Not quite sure, something at the starter maybe? Cruise control or wiper motor? I ran power from inside the car. It can be done pretty easily as well.

Run off the fuel pump in the fuse box.

I'm planning to hook it up to a relay that will power my heat exchanger pump, I don't plan to use it as a power source, only as a on/off switch pretty much, hence the relay
