anyways, the way I found that and tapped it, is I actually torn apart my wiring harness from the ECU all the way back to under the fuse/relay box under the hook. I took the back of that box off and made sure of the wire. From there, you can cut the wire anywhere and connect your switch wiring. As long as the switch allows connection, it will act like it always has. When the switch is pressed, the relay "thinks" the car's computer told it to stop giving spark and fuel, shutting the engine off, which ultimately tells the computer to stop giving the ground to the relay, hence "killing" the engine.

I'll see if I can't find what wire that was for ya.
Thanks for the response. I am going to splice the wire back together from the ignition switch and tap into the ASD wiring. I like the idea better, and then I will not lose my dash!
