CEL wire question

Have the cluster out of a 87 F150 4x4 302. Looking to add a CEL since there is an option for it. My harness is missing the CEL wire on that pin of the cluster's connector. I thought perhaps the wire may be available at a dead-end or unused connector somewhere under the dash. It looks like when Ford added it later, they just pulled it from the OBD1 test connector (I think). Unfortunately, I only see single wires per pin at my OBD1 connector, no double wires on a single pin for one to go back to the dash. So it looks like if I want the CEL I'm going to have to run it, or borrow an unused wire. Borrowing the tach wire is an option since I don't have one, but would rather not do that. Anyone have any input or ideas on unused wiring that exits under the hood that I could repurpose?
