Key Off - 12 volt live terminal?

Hi

Did some searching -both here and general Internet- and have found nothing. Yes, I can hop in the car with the volt meter, but if I don't have to.... I will also go through the fuse box PDF a third time.

Does anyone know of a Key Off, 12 volt live terminal? And this would preferably be a Key Off Live / Key On Dead 12 Volt terminal. I am going to place a dummy, flashing LED into one of the dash button blanks. Basically it will serve as a phony alarm indicator.

If all else fails, I can wire it to constant-live terminal.

Thanks for any input.

Try a T- tap connection @ footwell light, it's a live wire.

Not looking for a live wire. Looking for a Key On/Power off, Key Off/Power On terminal. I need to just hop-in with the meter and do some checking.
