The heaviest cable goes to the starter. Electrical distribution to other consumers is via two SAMs (Signal Acquisition and Activation Modules), one in the rear and one in the front. The flows are very complex. What are you looking for?

It will have to go to the front SAM, but a consumer that large will require recoding the SAM with Star Diag. If the draw doesn't match a MB unit, it may not be possible. You probably won't damage anything but you will throw codes.
