Ford Automatic Idle Control module

I've been looking on Ebay for an AIC module, but i was wondering if my truck has the necessary wiring harness. I don't have the PTO option.

What year truck? If it's pre-2005 and it's got a Powerstroke, then yes you have the wiring. It's hard to find that connector hiding up under the dash there, but it's easier if you take off the panel below the steering wheel (assuming you have a Superduty). Here's a picture to help you: http://www.backglass.org/duncan/aic_connection.jpg

Thanks for the pics, it's an 04, wish I knew it was available when I ordered the truck.

It is an awesome featuer. The fire department I am in ordered a F-550 with the AIC in it and it really helps when you are at a wreck with the lights running and you don't have to worry about the battery going dead.

When you stop some where and put the truck in park and put the parking brake on it automatically revs up the engine to keep the batteries charged. Like for us, we have an F-550 with a light bar and several smaller lights and it keeps the battery from going dead.
