Customer Circuit Access??

Hello,

I just got a 2001 F-250 V-10. Iam wanting to install an amp in the truck. I looked under the dash and saw a set of wires with nothing pluged into it. There is a label that says "Customer Access Circuit" I checked fr power and there is none there. Do I need to put a fuse in some where to get that live?

Thanks for the help!
Chris

Those wires are for running stuff thru the firewall. They terminate in the engine compartment near the brake booster.

Next to those customer access wires is also a switched 12volt circuit, but it's a small wire. I'd ditto the above suggestion to run straight off the battery with larger wire. Optimally, you could use the switched wire to activate a relay that powers your amp.
