I'm installing a new horn and need a little help. This is quoted directly from the instructions...

"Connect the Orange wire to any wire that has a constant positive 12 volts (not an on/off wire)."

Now as simple as this sounds, I haven't done anything like this before. Closest I've done is hooking up my stereo, but that uses "an on/off wire".

Any suggestions on which wire I could use? Obviously I don't want to go directly to the battery in case it sucks up too much juice.

Thanks
