Any suggestions for a fuse tap in the under the hood box to get 12v with ignition on , not on with Accessory. 1996 F150 XL 4.9. I need only a couple amps,so it shouldn't matter much to the circuit I'm borrowing
from.

For archival purposes I'll answer myself, after a bit of trial and error. I found E (15amp) to meet the requirements. The lid had to be modified a little to accommodate the tap and wire. I could have modified the box for the wire exit, but I can replace the lid a lot easier than the box.

I usually just solder a new wire to the bottom of the fuse terminal, and run it with the factory harness to wherever I need. It's relatively easy to flip the PDB, slide the cover off, and work on the terminals.
