There are multiple fuse panels in the LS. Look at the others. Probably driver or passenger side kick panel.

Yup. Under hood fuse blocks (especially the critical one pictured) isn't a good source for aftermarket accessory power.

Just for clarification, do you want to provide constant power to the LED or only with ignition on?

I have an LED accessory and used a 10 amp fuse tap tapped into the cruise control fuse under hood, only provides power when ignition is on.

Agreed. What's the usage/type of logo light? Grill, mirror puddle lights, door installed ground illumination? Each use will have a different type of power tap to make it work as designed.

I want the led to turn when the power is on without the engine running.

Why would you not want it on when the engine is running?

If all the accessories are powered and the engine off once you turn the engine on all the accessories will still be powered.

I think he just wants to do it his way with no input from us. That's fine. There are fuses driver and passenger footwell panels. If it has to connect under hood, you can also go straight to battery with an inline fuse. Maybe post a photo when done and good luck.

Because I can't have it running inside the building. It's a car show.

I dont want to add another wire on the emblem and run it to the fuse box inside of the car. When you turn the key once it goes to acc, the power will come on. When you turn it to on. The engine start. I can't have the engine running inside the building. The instructions say to use the acc fuse. I'm just going by what that instructions says.

The LED I installed also said to use the acc, but I
could not find one labeled acc. I just used the cruise control fuse. It will come on with the ignition accessories on and engine off; I suggest you use that one.

Did you buy this LED from floatingcentercaps.com website?

If it's just for temporary use just wire it directly to the battery with an inline fuse, shut the hood and enjoy the show.
