Help Finding A Wire

On a 2012 F-450 I need help finding a wire. In the middle of the dash there are a row of rocker switches. Can anyone tell me where they exit. I need to hook on to one if possible out side of the cab in the engine area. Outside anywhere would be helpful.

If you are talking about the OEM Upfitter switches there are Capped wires under the left side of the steering column. Look in your owners manual under the Upfitter Switches section for information on the Max Amperage of each switch as well as color coding on the wires and their location.

Thanks for the help. I want to excite a solenoid to run a little compressor.
