12V accessory power to frunk

[Sparhawk]

Hi!

I would like to put a frezzer cooler inside the frunk, but i dont want it to be powered on all the time. I was thinking about putting in a 60 minute delay relay to let the cooler run 60 minutes after i turn off the car ( so it keeps cool while shopping and be ready to keep stuff cool better)
Im installing in a cigarette lighter socket to the frunk wall and that would have power 60 minutes after power off.
So the question is where can i get 12v switched to the relay from the frunk the easiest?

Mach-e forum member extraordinaire @RickMachE has a recent thread about his dashcam install experience where he taps into switched power:

I had decided to use 1-2 for the switched fuse, and discovered it had 3 blades, which is a Micro3 fuse. Did my research and some Googling and discovered that Mach-Es and Lightnings use Micro3 for switched fuses. Well, the add-a-taps included (4 of them) did not include Micro3… More search and learned I could use a Micro2 tap and occupy the left and middle positions, leaving the righthand position open on these unused locations. But now I had to find an extra 15amp type2 fuse to take the second spot on the tap… I stole it from 13. I used 24 for the always on fuse, as 5 was too tight a fit. I checked both power leads with a meter to ensure they had power (1-2 when the car was started by my wife, 24 always). Note that another forum member used #3 and #5. I pointed out to them that neither of those is switched, so the connection to #5 is wrong for the switched fuse, and that #3 is already used, so you want to avoid that if you can find unused locations. They didn’t seem to care
