Picked up a rear view mirror with autodim, compass, and Homelink. It needs constant power for the Homelink buttons, a ground, and accessory power for the compass and autodim. The first two I can get from the overhead courtesy light area, but I'm not sure the best source for accessory power. Suggestions?
There are 2 vacant spade connector sockets in the lower left corner of the fuse box (put there for just this purpose). They are labeled IGN, Use a standard spade connector and an in-line fuse.
edit: squeeze the 2 tabs on the left and right sides of the fuse box to swing it down.....makes it much easier to see and work on.

GM has plugs that will fit into those fusebox connections. I look for them with I go to the Pick and Pull. GM used them sometimes on cars to drive accessories that were not pre-wired, like power seats. You can buy the connectors here. $3 ea.

Just got this done. Worked perfectly with a spade connector with most of the insulator cut off. Also discovered that the cover you mention does not exist on my car
I can say the Owner's Manual was handy the day I got my first Fiero. I was at the Gas Bar wondering how to open the fuel door. Luckily, directions for the fuel door release (and a lot of other stuff) are in there.
I've had the fuel door release broken by Service Shop dunces thinking it was the decklid release. Of course they didn't say anything. I only found out days later whenI needed to gas up.
