RAP Wire, Pic please

The fuse box is good , but i have heard A MILLION negatives one this site about it. Pulled my LT and my friends SS apart and found this wire on both. happy hunting!
Does anyone have a Pic of this wire?
I looked on my drivers side, but I don't see this big faded yellow wire in the wires going into the door.

I seen a yellow wire, but didn't look faded and wouldn't call it big for any reason in comparison to the others.

What do you need it for? Can you just use a tap from the RAP fuse?

They don't sell fuse taps around here and I don't want to just shove it in there. I have wire taps and would rather just tap a wire, seems safer. Plus like I said, have the taps already, and fuse taps aren't local to me.

Good advice, but do you can you take a pic of this big faded yellow wire please? Or anyone please? I really only see one yellow wire going into my door and compared to some of the others I'd say it's small, and not faded at all.
