Default Need 12 volt power source

I have a 2003 Silverado and want to add an accessory plug to the overhead console. Can I plug a connector in the left ip fuse block labeled "BODY - 12 WAY - BRN" for my power? What exactly is that spot meant for?

No problem.... I just took a test light and put the keys in and tested them to see which ones would light up. IGN ended up being a good on because there was nothing on one side of it so it wasnt blocking any of the other fuses.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I never would have thought something like that existed. I have a slot labeled "aux pwr 2" and my owners manual says its not used. Just hope it's not on the battery run-down protection circuit since I want to use this power to charge a cell phone.

Just found it on Amazon.com It's called "add-a-circuit/add on circuit". Now can someone tell me which fuse goes to the original accessory plugs? I'll just use that circuit.
