Looking for power...

So I just got a new 2016 F350 and I'm starting to get things moved / installed into it. I have the service manual CD on order from HELM but it's not here yet so I could use a little help from those who have worked on the 2016 or probably the 2015. I need to find a source of unswitched battery power in the drivers footwell area preferably. I have a run/acc source there in the SEIC bundle, but no unswitched source.


Thanks

All of the powerpoints in the dash are unswitched. Can't you run a wire from the powerpoint just to the right of the steering wheel to the footwell?

That's probably the best place, but it's somewhat difficult to access. I'll look at my old manual and review how that panel came off in 2009. Always nervous about pulling on panels in a $70k new truck...

Assuming the 250 is like the 350, there is a fuse box in the passenger side front that has unswitched power available.
