Well, I figured it out. Behind the passenger side kick panel is a small fuse block with three unused receptacles. Two are switched, one is constant. I had to run to three places but I managed to get my hands on one of these without having to order it:
Mini ATM Fuse "ADD-A-CIRCUIT"

And I am soooooooo happy. No tapping into existing circuits/wires for me. That crap scares the he!! out of me. All I have to do now is run the wire about a foot up to where the airbag was and plug it into the distribution block I have set up to run all the crap I need switched.

So if you are looking for switched power for anything that doesn’t have a high amp load (which you should be using a relay for anyway) then everything you need is “pug in play”.:bigthumbsup

Just be carefull pulling the power from the SJB. The SJB is low current (10 amp max) so don't fuse it any higher than that. The other thing and you may have already found this out; not all the fuse connections (circuits) are hot in the SJB...just because there is an empty place for a fuse doesn't mean there is power there......found that out the hard way.

If your car is a manual, another good place to get switched power and light switch controlled power is from the auto transmission shifter harness in the consol. Even if the car is a manual the plug for the shifter is still there and power can be pulled from it.:bigthumbsup

That's a good ideer! The plug for the PS airbag is right there where I need to pull power.

Nice!:bigthumbsup

Won't work. The only time there is 12 volt at the air bag connectors is when the air bag is being deployed. The voltage for the air bag comes from the RCM. (Restraint Control Module) The RCM uses a very low voltage signal to check the components for self test but other than that the wires have no voltage.
