Train horns

I have a 2015 F250 Lariat... I installed the horns tank and compressor all of my air lines are in and now time to wire it. I am looking for a wire to connect to for the compressor that is controlled by the key. I found a wire on the passenger side that I think will work but I don't want to tap into something without knowing what it is. I have already brought my wire into the cab on the passenger side and have plenty of wire to move over to the driver's side of needed. The wire I was looking at is behind the glove compartment and I believe is for the blower motor but not 100% sure. The wire is yellow and green and the thickest wire in the plug. When I turn the power off to the a/c it turns off and when I turn the key off it turns off. Any help would be awesome.

Do you know how to put in a relay? I would run the compressor power line straight to the battery through a relay. Then run the wire that actuates the relay to the wire you described. This way that wire only actuates the relay and does not power the compressor.

Yes I do... I was following the instructions and didn't even consider that. I think I even have one in the junk drawer that I didn't need with another project. Thanks.
