Can anyone suggest a good place to access 12v switched power under the hood...preferably on the drivers' side? It needs to be able to handle 20+ amps of current draw. It is for an E-fan that I am planning on installing.

I searched here and also checked the haynes manual (the haynes manual wiring diagrams unfortunately seem have gotten very vague in recent years on this kind of stuff)

Thanks!

Your best bet would be to use a relay. Relays allow low current switching with high current power output.
