Drop the glove box lid, fuse No 3 is only live with ignition on. I used a "male spade".

In fact also should have been more specific. Need the ingition live to be in the engine bay. As close to the front grille as possible. Its for a wireless camera as i didnt want to run the wires all the way up into the cabin.

It's easy to run one through to the engine from the fuse box as there is a grommet/tube there that anybody fitting cruise on facelift or late pre facelift need to run a wire through.
