Quick Wiring Question..??

So as i'm starting to wire things up, I really need to find a good ignition wire to splice into so that things will work only when the key is turned on. I have a 98 Limited 4dr & would like to know where one is located for my needs??

There is usually an open slot at the fuse box

LoL, yes I know where it is, but it uses those tiny fuses so how do I get a wire in there safely with no fire hazards??

If you have an open slot; whether it's labeled BATT or ACC, you can crimp a male spade connector on to said wire. Insert that into the slot, then run an inline fuse.
