Move connection on fuse panel? someone i know got sneaky in his rabbit ... he found the power wire to the ignition switch key-left-in buzzer (the one that goes off when/if you leave the keys in the switch AND open the door) and used it to power the radio. that way, he could just leave the key IN the switch (but not turned to any position) and listen to the radio. take the key out, and the radio goes off. :) neat, eh? now the not-so-neat part: i don't know which wire it is. so i'm assuming you'd have to backtrack the color from the little door jamb switch and find out which relay it goes to and piggy back power from the relay. he just showed me how it worked, not how he wired it. :( hope it helps. good luck! unca joel
