if its anything like the 2002's there should be a wire in the steering wheel you can tap into that detects when the key is turned and you can use that for you amp we used it for my friends cd player.

look around i "think:" this is a good idea

There are 3 ways to find out.

1) do a search, its talked about every day.

2) get a volt meter, and check

3) pull back some of the insulation, lick your fingures and touch a ground and the wire at the same time. ( I dont recommend this way )

Go to an auto parts store and buy a fuse tap and then plug it into your wiper fuse.

This is what it will look like.

The reason for one like above and not one like below is because it adds a fuse for what you are hooking up to it. You don't want to be driving in the rain and blow your wiper fuse and be stuck with no wipers

hmm..helpful, the wiper circuit is hot during "key on, engine off" or "key on, engine running"?
