Next comes the fun part: cutting into the wiring harness at the OEM fuse block. If this makes you nervous, you might want to use [http://www.allpar.com/reviews/other/posi-tap.html Posi-Tap] connectors from [http://www.posi-lock.com/posiplug.html Posi-Lock].

Consult the [[Wiring schematics & diagrams|schematic]] to determine which connection to tap into. Don't use the unused 'accessories' fuse because those two connections are always hot. This also goes for the OEM accessory wires. The horn was the circuit tapped into, since it has minimal draw when not in use. The schematic showed the wire needed to tap was the lower harness brown/white wire. Double-check this by [[Testing a wire|testing the voltage]], then pulling the fuse.
