Default Any ignition-switched power leads in the engine bay (sutiable for relay signal)

I am testing a couple things out, and was wondering if anyone knew of any easily accesible feed in the engine bay to get switched (ignition) power source, enough to feed the coil side of a relay. I would get the actual load voltage from the jump post, I am just trying to avoid stringing new wire in from the cabin.

Anyone have a good tapping point in mind?

Many thanks,
Hans

Off the Wiper motor or headlight motor comes to mind.

Any other thoughts? I may get to this tonight. Any easily accessible harness/lead to tap into for switched power, or should i just run another wire through the firewall?

Thanks
Hans

I thought there was one or two in the milti-pin connector next to the jumper post?

A "clean" way to do that would be source another pin, jumper that to a switched connector already in there and add a wire.
