Done by a PO. Fuse no.1 should have a green wire with a black tracer on one side (green/black) and a green wire with a yellow tracer on the other (green/yellow). I can't be certain from the picture, but it looks as if the green/yellow has survived and the Scotchlok (horrible thngs! - should be banned outright) has been clipped to the remains of the green/black wire. If the green/black wire is still intact (can't see it) then yeah; he was looking for a switched connection. Trouble is, if it has any real load on it then it's going to cause problems because it routes through the kill switch.
Where does it go?

Thanks for the quick response.
It is routed up to the headlight area. I thought I would use it to power led driving lights (minimal draw). Or do you think I would be better off to just grab power from a turn signal?

How much draw for the LEDs?
Where I tap things in for switched power is the Green/Brown wire of the round white nylon alarm connector. That is switched power via Fuse 7.

Those will be fine run from the green/brown wire.

I'm in agreement with Duck. That's a 1.5 amp current draw, so not too much.
