    I am looking to add a 40 amp 4 pole relay but I cannot find a place to connect to the battery (12V power). Has anybody connected such a relay in their gen 5 engine bay? I am aware of the bar to jump the vehicle, but I am looking for another place I can permanently tap into the 12 volt for a horn drawing 30+ amps.
