    It is 12 volts DC that wire should not shock you, so please do not use that to diagnose your problem either take it to a shop, or do like Sina said and use a meter

    then run new wires. your fuse box has empty spots for adding 12v constant and switched accessory

    it could be your backup fuse that is in your engine bay. If your clock seems dim then that should be it.
