Either tap a fused circuit like the DOME circuit or use an inline fuse. Relay coils don't use much so 1 amp is plenty.
The key chime, if memory serves, is soldered into the gauge cluster. Best way to deal with it is a fatal injection of superglue.

I also want to allow the power passenger windows to be able to operate without the key to allow adjustments during camping, etc. A couple questions:
- If I wire in a switch to put 12V at terminal 1 to energize the relay would I need to add a diode to that it doesn't energize terminal 2 of the ECU?
- I thought about simply jumping terminals 3 and 5 of the PWR window relay. I realize due to its location it is not convenient to reverse this so it would need to be considered semi-permanent. What are the consequences of just bypassing the relay? Is it possible for this to run down the battery somehow?
