Question about trunk wiring harness

For you 5th gen owners--is there a wiring harness in the trunk that I can tap in to and power my satellite radio tuner off of? Or will I have to run a new wire off the fuse box?

Do you have a multimeter?

If so, just unplug any harness you see and start probing for power...

I can definitely do that. I just don't want to tap into the fuel pump harness or something like that...

Be careful what you tap to, as it may be the right voltage but not enough current to support it. Possibly blowing fuses and causing problems....

Also if you do tap a wire in the make sure its not the actual trunk light wire, it wont be giving you any power once you close the trunk.
