2002 F250 power source

I need an ignition power source under the dash for a snow plow. I didn't see anything in the tech folder. Any ideas?

One of the 12V outlets are on the ignition. I'd splice in behind that. Or you could plug into it with a 12V socket going to plow,

Nope. The cigar lighter and the power points are all ALWAYS HOT on the '02 Super Duty.

There is a factory-supplied customer access circuit that is HOT IN RUN and is fed off fuse CJB F29 (10A). White-blue wire, should be above the OBDII port and should be tagged.

If you need more than 10 amps, use that circuit to activate an added high-current relay.

Thanks, I found it with the wires to the OBD port. 10 amps should be plenty, I think it just powers the joystick that controls the plow.
