What are you using it for and what area are you at so we know? Are you running something or just triggering a relay?

Just go through your fuse box with your meter or tester, while your switch is in the accessory position. Each time you find a hot, switch your ignition off to see if the voltage drops off, or the test light goes out. Mark each one you find, and check which items the fuse runs. Pick the best candidate for the job, preferably nothing important to the car's running. Pick any fuse for basic accessory triggering, and a 10 to 15 amp for running a low amp draw device. You may need to bump the fuse up about 5 amps for running a low powered device, but let the current fuse tell you if you that is necessary.

Accessory in the steering column from the key cylinder is the safest.

Shane_S14 has the right idea.

You need to check to see if you have a bad fuse on that radio switched or if there is a break in the wire.
