When you say constant, do you mean without the key, or the key in the Acc. pos.? When?

The dimmer only give you power when the lights are turned on?

the only one that i know of for sure is behind the radio, other than that you are better of running a fused wire from the battery.

There's a wire that goes to the radio that always has 12v which is how the radio remembers the stations.

The hazard flasher might also have 12v source since you can use it anytime as well.
