I require a switched ignition hot wire for a number of accessories (via a relay signal) on a 2015 RAM 1500. It seems that most people use the centre console power outlet as their switched ignition source. However, I need a switched wire under the hood in the engine bay.

Could I have some recommendations for where you guys get an ignition signal wire under the hood?

Check your owner's manual, in the fuse section, for the fuse number that controls the interior power plug. The fuse has two positions: always hot and ignition-switched. Use a fuse tap to get your relay control signal.

I did consider this. However, I have already moved the interior power outlet fuse to always hot as this is more useful for me. Hence, I cannot now use it with an ignition-switched fuse tap (or can I?).

Choose your selection and test with a test light. Then use a "fuse tap" on the one that works for you. Too easy
