Default What is best place to tap 12V under hood?

Was hoping there was a good spot near relays and not have to go down to wheel well terminal or alternator.

Anyone?

For what purpose? Jump starting, adding an accessory or hooking up a test instrument?
Ignition on or full time?

Don't know one right off hand...most of the "exposed" on or near the engine are tiny signal wires (some reduced voltage) and only ignition on.

I'd put a meter to the terminals in the E-Box (ECM_TCM) to look for battery voltage..on or off. But, that's probably already occurred to you, huh?
