Engine compartment fuse box accessory fuse
Hi , hope everyone had a great new Year.
I have a 1998 Chevy Silverado K1500 4wd 5.7 ext cab pick up.
I need to know if someone can please tell me what fuse i can tap in to, to be used as an accessory/key on power for some aftermarket gauges. I want to use a "add a circuit" fuse adapter in the engine compartment fuse box . It on driver's side right next to the computer "black box".
But it can't be a fuse that has power all the time (meaning with key off)... It just needs power when key is turned on and running.... Can anyone tell me what fuses in that fuse box would work please?

If you’re still needing an answer….
Use the fuse block in the driver foot well - it has some spade type terminals for ignition feeds. Use a test light to verify which ones are ignition vs battery feeds.
