Default Start scan led light under hood installation

Hi everyone! I've got a 2015 Mazda 3. I'm trying to hook up this led that comes on when I lock/unlock the car. I don't want constant power to it. Does anyone know what ACC fuse I can tap into in the engine fuse box? I was thinking hazard lights. Please help, I'm so frustrated 😔

Welcome to the forum
Hazard is constant 12 volt power.

Any idea what I could tap into? I only want the strip to illuminate when I lock/ unlock the car. It came with an inline fuse as well. Sorry I forgot to mention earlier

Without seeing the actual instruction, I honestly do not see how that would work as you want? The lock/unlock is a monetary actuation but direct constant 12 volt power. Other are either actuated with the ACC position of the ignition or only powered on when the engine is started.

Tas.tech is the maker. Video on YouTube just don't like the wiring to the actual fuse. That's why it's called a start scan or it illuminates when you lick/unlock doors. It goes off by itself after its sequence is over. All of 10 seconds.

No instructions. Two wires. One is grounded off, the other goes to accessory. I don't want the light to constantly run while I'm driving.
