12v accessory power for my cluster

Installing a new cluster in my 89 and I need a 12v accessory power. The kit says to use the fuse box, but I can't find any open areas that does accessory (used a light tester with the key in the ON position, no luck) anyone know of any wires I can piggy-back, or should my fuse box have an open slot?

Thanks

There should be terminals in your fuse block labeled BAT.

You can connect a fuse it.
OR
They sell fuses with pigtails on them in which you can use that fuse.

Just make sure you select the correct side so if the fuse blows power will be cut.


Happy Racing !

The original cluster wiring has a switched power source. It is the PNK/BLK wire at the brown connector.

Oops, sorry, I just noticed you have a Camaro not a Firebird. Nothing I said applies to you.

Although, the same concept must be true, you just have to find the wire.
