2021 Camaro 3LT RS. I'm looking for a 12v power source under the dash for hooking up a curb alert.

There is a component just above the hood release, number 13535990. It has 7 harnesses plugged in. White, Blue, Green Black Brown Pink and Gray.

Does anyone know what this is?

Thank you. The ign one should work to have power only when the car is running.

What component is this?

What is the difference between ignition and accessory power source? I though an ignition power source is the equivalent to a switched power source - at least in the automatic.

It is my understanding that Ignition will only have voltage when the car is running.

It's definitely not that. An ignition power source is otherwise known as a switched power source. It is on when you press the start engine button without pressing the brake.

By accessory power source, do you mean retained accessory power source, which is a wire that retains power after engine shutdown for about 10 mins or until a door is opened?

If that is the case, can someone point me towards a wire, preferably in the passenger footwell that provides retained accessory power? I am planning to remove the passenger kick panel in order to connect an accessory to the radio control module and I need this accessory to remain on for as long as the radio is on, after I shut down the engine. One of the wires on the connectors that connect to the radio control module should definitely be a retained accessory source. Anyone knows which wire?

Don't know if you still need help but maybe this helps if you haven't found already https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=523536

I 've seen this thread, thanks for posting though. I decided to tap into the purple wire that goes to the cigarette lighter under the center console. I was looking for a retained accessory power source and the cigarette lighter wire is exactly what I need, as it retains power after engine shutdown for about 10 mins or until a door is opened.
