I'm wanting to do this, just thought I'd get a bit of feedback first.
Any issues doing this that will come up?
Would it be as easy as snipping a few wires and reconnecting them bypassing the ignition?
Does anybody have any idea what wire it is in the ignition column?
Thanks in advance for input.

Why not just run your own power lead to the switch. Cut the stock (ignition on) wire and splice in the new wire. No need to find what wire it is in the harness.

X2 Find the postive power wire going to the power shades and run a new wire direct to the battery with a inline fuse at the battery.

I don't know about the shades, but the power windows have a relay that turns them on when the ignition is on. If the shades are similar, then it's as easy as unplugging the relay and replacing it with a short piece of wire with a spade terminal on each end.
