Ok this may seem like a redundant question but does anyone know which fuses on the fuse panel are live only when the key is on? By that i mean they only have 12v power when the key is on. Mostly need to know this so i can install the temp/compass mirror im getting from Bluex. I know the 4wd fuse is one such circuit but its already double tapped for both my Lift pump wiring and glow plug manual control. This is another reason i would like to know which ones are "hot" when key is on. So i can move either my lift pump wire or my glow plug control to a different circuit. Eventual plan is to buy a painless wiring aux fuse box to move both of these to. As well as adding a relay to the lift pump wiring. But i prob wont get to that for awhile yet. Also does anyone know what plugs do what on the accessory panel on the fire wall? I think thats the right name for it..its a panel with a bunch of male plugs on it and different wire codes molded into the plastic. Im guessing this is for adding stuff like the factory fog light harness and other add on wiring. Diagrams of both would be great if anyone has them!

The truck in question is my 1994 GMC Sierra K1500
 
I "T" into a wire from the steering column that was hot with the key on.

The bad part is it is hot in the "on" and "ACC on".

I use this wire for all the stuff I am adding. It is hooked to a relay to take the stress of the wire I used.
Including the mirror with compass and temp.

I wish I would have hunted longer and found a wire that was hot only after the truck is running. :agreed:
 
Got a test light? On my 94 burb I found one toward upper left side of the under dash box.
