Default key 12v source

where is there a easily accessible 12v keyed power source that I can tap into to power a toggle switch for my e-fan relay.

I had a radio wiring diagram thrown in my truck. Used the red and white keyed 12v power wire from the radio harness.

I used the spare fuse spot in the dash for my reverse lights.
Crimp on a spade wire connector and just plug it in.
