I was wanting Retained Accessory Power (RAP) for my radio.
Thanks to Pittfan from a post on the other site, I was able to locate a rap wire.

There's 2 blue wires in the smaller bundle of wires coming out of the rear of the rear fuse box. I'm not sure if there's a way to differentiate, but I had a 50/50 shot and got the right one.

I wired in a relay - (87)power from the power wire feeding the fuse box, (85)ground from fuse box mounting stud, (86) rap wire, (30) to the radio.

One mistake in the pics, I didn't have a fuse in the power wire(87) - one was added.

And that's as far as I am - not hooked up yet.

Did you cover that soldering connection? I assume you did before it got shoved under the carpet.

Ha, yeah - I just left it that way for the pic so as to show how I tapped in.
Oh, and I have it hooked up and the radio works with RAP now.
