also factory looms dont have a fuse on the switched live either, though again if you want to add oen by all means. G spade 3 is the one to use for reference if anyone else was wondering.
or factory way to get switched live is add a spade terminal to ignition switch plug pin S, this goes live when key is inserted

I used the Defroster Power as it is a Switched source, similar to the "X" contact on the Ignition switch but easier to get to and to use as the 90's Cabby's that I owned with the Airbag is such a pain in the Posterior to remove the Wheel and covers to get to the switch.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

G spade 5 isn't ignition live it's a feed from the battery charge light in the cluster so remove that. You need to use g spade 3 for your ignition lives, you're fine to piggy back a few feeds from it so long as you don't put too much load on. Radio and gauges are fine, check what's connected.to spade 3 right now though.
You can tap into the heater blower switch if you like, but I prefer not to modify original wiring (though if current loom is.bodged all to hell what's one more non-standard wire tap

Or if you have an S terminal on your ignition switch you can run it there, at least on a euro spec MK1 it's really easy to access ignition loom as we don't have to deal with the knee bar

you can make a simple piggy back loom without damaging the original wire, get yourself a male spade, female spade. crimp the radio wire and a 2nd wire into the female spade, crimp a male onto the 2nd spade. plug female to G/3, male to the black wire which used to go there

can put your vdo gauges on the same feed as well, they dont use much so you wont overload the terminal.
with the radio just make sure you put the live and switched live wires the right way roudn then there wont be any load on G/3 from the radio either. On an aftermarket ISO plug the switched live is red, main live yellow.
