12V Switched

Greetings.

Does anyone know of any trick way to get a 12V key on/off switched power source under the dashboard in a 2012 F250 short of running something to the fuse box?

I could take one of the up fitter switch wires but I dont want to use up a switch for something that I don't need to manually switch separately from the key on/off.

Anything under the footwell or steering column that is easily accessible?

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

If you have a cigarette lighter it may be ignition powered?

What are you looking to power?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, both of my lighter plugs are not switched. That would have been ideal.

If you have uplifter switch that would work.

What you you hooking up? What is the amp draw.

If you just look for micro amps you use the power to the radio or gove box.

It's very low draw. Like what a cell phone would use.

What is the power to the glove box?
