Installing a Denali power center this weekend.

Will be installed in the battery area. Where is the easiest/best place to pull switched power?

Brown wire powering running lights. Remove your right side cover and all wires should be in a bundle.

There is a 5amp aux wire that is green with a red stripe  under the right hand cover that I used to power my fuse block. It is only hot when switch turned on and power goes off when starter is pressed then back on in a couple of seconds just like the head light.

Standard must have the same wire. If the rain would quit I could move stuff around in the garage and get into it and get it going. Grrrrrrr

Just in case, by the way your question is worded, if you're asking where to get the power to energize a relay from the ignition, then follow the suggestions given. The Standard has this 5 amp green wire mentioned for this purpose. However, as someone who is pretty accustom to electrical wiring and terminology, it sounds also that you might be asking where to get the power for the "switched" circuit. This should probably come from the battery directly. The "switched" power usually is referring to the circuit that will handling the load. It is "switched" on or "switched' off be a relay or switch. Just trying to help, you probably had the answer you were looking for from the previous posts, but just in case , you don't want to run more than a relay on that little green wire for 5 amps.

Like the other guys said......here.....

That's where I took the switched power for when I installed my Eastern Beaver PC-8 block. 

You can see the black wire running up into the rubber sleave.

Thanks guys! I finally found the little bugger.....wasn't exactly sitting out in the open.
To answer your comments on the "Switched" power. The 5a circuit will be latching on a relay in the Denali box.
Inside the box there 6 individual circuits. These circuits can be hooked up through the relay (switched) or fused direct depending on where you install the mini fuse.
Its a pretty cool little box.

I also ran with the PC-8, but wired it differently so that one of the eight fuses (30 amp) was used to protect the box.  That way the separate external fuse was not needed.  I have only three circuits for accessories, two switched and one battery.
