I recently installed a rear view camera and I have it hooked up to the power on the reverse light so it comes on when I pop it into reverse... now I want it to have it on all the time... and I really don't want to run another wire. Is there anywhere on the rear hatch that I might be able to get 12v power that will turn on with accessory.

Try the rear cargo light. I'm not sure, but I think it will have a constant source. You will have to check and see if it turns off with the key.

I just ran the wire from the 12v outlet on the center console will I be ok or should I be wary of blowing a fuse?

The shift console power socket gets its power from the 15A "cig fuse" in the under-dash panel adjacent the OBDII connector. I needed power for my trailer hitch wiring and went with the IG2 circuit right off the ignition switch (requires the ignition to be on). It's the 30A AM2 fuse under the hood, and needs to be additionally fused for the specific application (10A in my case). It might also be appropriate to fuse your camera circuit -- check the camera installation instructions.
